Canon Digital Rebel problem

Archived from groups: rec.photo.digital.slr-systems (More info?)

I was wondering if anyone had any advice for me.

I've had a my canon rebel digitial for a little over a year. Up until
today I have never had any problems with it. Today I was at the red
sox game and took about 25 pictures, all was going well. I switched
lenses (from a Canon 75/300 to the kit lense). Took a picture and
when I looked at the display only the top 1/3 of the image is there
(the rest is black). http://www.panix.com/~teej/badsox.jpg is an
example of what the problem is. It feels like the shutter is not
releasing itself the way its supposed to. Anyway, here is a picture
taken without the lense http://www.panix.com/~teej/nolense.jpg

Do I just need to take the camera in to get fixed or is there
something I can do?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Now if you had been a a Yankee game, that could have had something to
do with it. :-)

To follow up on my previous post... I seem to now have two options..
I can have 1/3 of a very well focused image or I can no longer have a
working autofocus but the entire image will be captured... I kind of
like the idea of a fully present fully autofocused image... I just
emailed canon's tech support hoping that they can help (even though I
am about 1 month out of warranty) Is there anything I can do to fix
this (other then use manual focus?

I must say that the extra warranty that I bought with my D-SLR is looking
better all the time, I am also starting to feel really good about having no
Canon cameras.
