I've seen similar issues in the last month. Most recently right after I had changed
batteries, It flopped like a dead fish but took no pictures. IT would flop a few times and then stop---but I found that I could restart the flopping by pushing almost any button on the camera.
Ultimately it cleared itself after a few minutes and resumed normal function. I have seen this once before but not so severely. My camera had been in the house
under very normal household temperatures and the problem occurred after I carted it out on the back porch with a F50mm macro lens to take a photo of a moth sleeping on the back wall of my house.
I don't have a grip and wasn't using one and never have.
While I own an after market battery as well as the OEM battery that came with the camera, which I use alternately, the OEM battery was the one that I freshly installed.
