Troubleshooting Guide If a problem occurs with the camera, first consult this Troubleshooting Guide. If this Troubleshooting Guide does not resolve the problem, contact your dealer or nearest Canon Service Center. Power-Related Problems The battery does not recharge. Do not use any battery other than a genuine Canon Battery Pack LP-E10. The battery charger’s lamp blinks. If the battery charger has a problem, the protection circuit will stop the charging and the charge lamp will blink in orange.
Troubleshooting Guide The battery becomes exhausted quickly. Use a fully-charged battery (p.34). The rechargeable battery performance will degrade over repeated use. Purchase a new one. The number of possible shots will decrease with any of the following operations: • • • • • Pressing the shutter button halfway for a prolonged period. Activating the AF frequently without taking a picture. Using the lens’s Image Stabilizer. Using the LCD monitor frequently.
Troubleshooting Guide No images can be shot or recorded. Make sure the card is properly inserted (p.36). Slide the card’s write-protect switch to the write/erase position (p.36). If the card is full, replace the card or delete unnecessary images to make space (p.36, 230). If you try to focus in the One-Shot AF mode and the focus indicator in the viewfinder blinks, a picture cannot be taken. Press the shutter button halfway again to refocus automatically, or focus manually (p.47, 101).
Troubleshooting Guide Horizontal stripes appear, or the exposure or color tone look strange. Horizontal stripes (noise) or irregular exposures can be caused by fluorescent lighting, LED lighting, or other light sources during viewfinder or Live View shooting. Also, the exposure or color tone may not come out right. A slow shutter speed may solve the problem. The standard exposure cannot be obtained or the exposure is irregular.
Troubleshooting Guide ISO 100 cannot be set. Under [53: Custom Functions (C.Fn)], if [6: Highlight tone priority] is set to [1: Enable], ISO 100 cannot be set. If [0: Disable] is set, ISO 100 can be set (p.263). This also applies to movie shooting (p.177). ISO speed [H] (equivalent to ISO 12800) cannot be set. Under [53: Custom Functions (C.
Troubleshooting Guide When I use the mode with flash, the shutter speed becomes slow. If you shoot at night when the background is dark, the shutter speed automatically becomes slow (slow-sync shooting) so that both the subject and background are properly exposed. To prevent a slow shutter speed, under [53: Custom Functions (C.Fn)], set [3: Flash sync. speed in Av mode] to [1: 1/200-1/60sec. auto] or [2: 1/200sec. (fixed)] (p.261). The built-in flash rises by itself.
Troubleshooting Guide High-speed sync cannot be set in the mode. Under [53: Custom Functions (C.Fn)], set [3: Flash sync. speed in Av mode] to [0: Auto] (p.261). The camera makes a noise when it is shaken. The built-in flash’s pop-up mechanism moves slightly. This is normal and not a malfunction. The shutter makes two shooting sounds during Live View shooting. If you use flash, the shutter will make two sounds each time you shoot (p.141).
Troubleshooting Guide The ISO speed cannot be set for movie shooting. If [k1: Movie exposure] is set to [Auto], the ISO speed will be set automatically. If [Manual] is set, you can set the ISO speed manually (p.162). The exposure changes during movie shooting. If you change the shutter speed or aperture during movie shooting, the changes in the exposure may be recorded.
Troubleshooting Guide Display Problems The menu screen shows fewer tabs and options. In Basic Zone modes and in movie shooting mode, certain tabs and menu options are not displayed. Set the shooting mode to a Creative Zone mode (p.50). The file name’s first character is an underscore (“_”). Set the color space to sRGB. If Adobe RGB is set, the first character will be an underscore (p.137). The file name starts with “MVI_”. It is a movie file (p.189). The file numbering does not start from 0001.
Troubleshooting Guide The LCD monitor does not display a clear image. If the LCD monitor is dirty, use a soft cloth to clean it. In low or high temperatures, the LCD monitor display may seem slow or may look black. It will return to normal at room temperature. [Eye-Fi settings] does not appear. [Eye-Fi settings] will appear only when an Eye-Fi card is inserted in the camera.
Troubleshooting Guide The movie has still moments. During autoexposure movie shooting, if there is a drastic change in the exposure level, the recording will stop momentarily until the brightness stabilizes. In such cases, shoot movies with manual exposure (p.162). I cannot connect the camera to my TV set. An HDMI cable (sold separately) is necessary to connect the camera to a TV set. Using the HDMI Cable HTC-100 (sold separately) is recommended (p.226).
Troubleshooting Guide Printing-Related Problems I cannot connect the camera to my printer. If [53: Wi-Fi/NFC] is set to [Enable], the camera cannot be connected to a printer. Set [Wi-Fi/NFC] to [Disable], then reconnect the camera to a printer with an interface cable. There are fewer printing effects than listed in the instruction manual. Contents displayed on the screen vary depending on the printer. This instruction manual lists all the printing effects available (p.246).
Error Codes Error number If there is a problem with the camera, an error message will appear. Follow the onscreen instructions. Cause and countermeasures Number 01 02 Error Message and Solution Communications between the camera and lens is faulty. Clean the lens contacts. Clean the electrical contacts on the camera and lens or use a Canon lens (p.25, 26). Card cannot be accessed. Reinsert/change card or format card with camera.
