Troubleshooting Troubleshooting If you have a problem with your camera, refer to this section. Consult your dealer or a Canon Service Center if the problem persists. 190 Power source The camera will not turn on or it turns off by itself. - The battery pack is exhausted. Replace or charge the battery pack. - Remove the battery pack and reattach it correctly. Shortly after turning it on, the camera turns off on its own. - You are using a battery pack that is not compatible for use with this camera.
Troubleshooting Bright red, green or blue dots appear on the screen. - Try adjusting the black balance (A 53). The camera’s CMOS sensor is a delicate piece of precision engineering. Direct exposure of the sensor to ion rays or other types of cosmic radiation may affect it and this may rarely appear as bright colored dots on the screen. This is the nature of CMOS image sensors and does not represent a malfunction.
Troubleshooting b appears in yellow on the screen. - The camera’s internal temperature has reached a predetermined level. You can continue using the camera. b appears in red on the screen. 192 - The camera’s internal temperature has risen further while b appeared in yellow on the screen.
Troubleshooting Sound is distorted or is recorded at lower levels. - When recording near loud sounds (such as fireworks, shows or concerts), sound may become distorted or it may not be recorded at the actual levels. Activate the microphone attenuator (A 103), or adjust the audio recording level manually. Recording Media and Accessories Cannot insert the recording media. - The CFast card or SD card you are trying to insert is not facing the correct direction. Turn it over and insert it.
Troubleshooting The peaking/B&W image/magnification/zebra pattern/waveform monitor/onscreen markers do not appear on the viewfinder or in the video from the VIDEO terminal. - Check that that display of the desired assistance function is enabled for the desired output device or terminal. 194 Magnification/waveform monitor/onscreen markers do not appear in the video from the SDI terminal. - Check that that display of the desired assistance function is enabled for the SDI terminal.
Troubleshooting Precautions Regarding Wi-Fi Networks When using a Wi-Fi network, try the following corrective actions if the transmission rate drops, the connection is lost, or other problems occur. Location of the access point (wireless router) - When using a Wi-Fi network indoors, place the access point in the same room where you are using the camera. - Place the access point in an open, unobstructed location, where people or objects do not come between it and the camera.
Troubleshooting 196 CFast/SD Card A/SD Card B Recommend checking the data and initializing - The recording media cannot be used for any of the following reasons. Save your clips (A 147) and initialize the recording media (A 50). • A problem has occurred with the recording media. • The camera cannot read the data on the recording media. • The recording media was initialized using a computer. • The recording media is partitioned.
Troubleshooting Noise levels will rise on the image of the sub recording and on video outputs not in RAW. - The primary recording format is set to RAW and [Gamma] in the custom picture file is set to an option other than [Canon Log] or [Canon Log 3]. Under such conditions, there will be more noise on video recorded with proxy recording clips on the SD card and on video output from the SDI terminal. If you do not need to record RAW video, change the primary recording format.
Troubleshooting Wi-Fi Functions Along with this list, refer also to the instruction manuals of the access point or other external devices you are using. 198 A User is already accessing the server. Try again later. - This message appears on the screen of the connected device. Another device connected to the network is already operating the camera. To use this device, first end the connection on the device accessing the camera and then touch Retry. Cannot log in to FTP server.
Troubleshooting Unable to connect to FTP server. - Could not connect to the FTP server. Check the FTP server settings (A 168). Unable to obtain an IP address - If you are not using a DHCP server, connect using the [Manual] option and enter the IP address using the [Manual] option (A 155). - Turn on the DHCP server. If it is already on, make sure it is functioning properly. - Make sure the address range for the DHCP server is sufficient. - If you are not using a DNS server, set the DNS address to [0.0.0.0].
