Does the light flash for 10 seconds, with a series of beeps getting faster before the picture is taken so you miss the shot, or are you saying the shutter stays open for several seconds giving you a whiteout picture?
If the former, then the self-timer is on. Press the button on the back of the camera to the
right of the displays just under the AV button. The display icon will
change from :-
Hand sweeping round clock = self timer mode
Simple square = single shot mode
Stacked squares = multi shot (keep finger pressed to keep shooting)

Yehhh !! Boy do I feel stupid ! I've had this camera for a long time, I can't believe I didn't even think of that. I would not have connected that to the problem. I've been into photography for about 9 years now and I'm really bad about using the P setting. I know I screw up some pics, I should take time and really work the manual settings. I now have the Rebel XSI and love it ! I haven't had much time to use it yet, but from what I see I do love it and it is a nice step up from the Rebel. I'm giving it to my daugher and she can learn on it. Thank you soo much for your help, I rate you %100 !! I'm so glad I found this site, I really thought the camera was a goner !
Thank you,
Wendy
