Canon 600D Problems, Please Help!

May 3, 2012 12:45AM PDT

I turned on my 600D the other day to find that it wouldn't do anything. No shutter noise, nothing came on. After a while a few more tries it would being to turn on, but the autofocus would not work at all. And then it would only take digital photos in live mode. Now the autofocus has come back but the picture isnt as pristine as it was before and keep in mind i just bought this camera a couple of months ago. Now it has begun taking pictures in both modes but they still aren't at 100%. The manual focus is also acting strange it feels like there's some kind of clicking when i turn the focus ring and it feels like there's something grinding inside the lens. Please is anyone has any information on what the issue may be that would be greatly appreciated.

Do you think there's a chance that their's something wrong with the shutter or the lens? I'm beginning to suspect that it was knocked over or something like that and no one told me. Could this be from physical damage?
