Troubleshooting Guide If a problem occurs with the camera, first refer to 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 pack does not recharge. If the battery’s remaining capacity (p.334) is 94% or higher, the battery will not be recharged. Do not recharge any battery pack other than genuine Canon Battery Pack LP-E6. The charger’s lamp blinks at high speed.
Troubleshooting Guide The access lamp still blinks even when the power switch is set to <2>. If the power is turned off while an image is being recorded to the card, the access lamp will remain on/continue to blink for a few seconds. When the image recording is completed, the power will turn off automatically. The battery becomes exhausted quickly. Use a fully-charged battery pack (p.28). The battery performance may have degraded. See [54: Battery info.
Troubleshooting Guide Shooting-Related Problems The lens cannot be attached. The camera cannot be used with EF-S and EF-M lenses (p.39). No images can be shot or recorded. Make sure the card is properly inserted (p.31). Slide the card’s write-protect switch to the write/erase position (p.31). If the card is full, replace the card or delete unnecessary images to make space (p.31, 267).
Troubleshooting Guide The image is out of focus. Set the lens focus mode switch to (p.39). To prevent camera shake, press the shutter button gently (p.43, 44). If the lens has an Image Stabilizer, set the IS switch to <1> (p.42). In low light, the shutter speed may become slow. Use a faster shutter speed (p.144), set a higher ISO speed (p.106), use flash (p.170), or use a tripod. I cannot lock the focus and recompose the shot. Set the AF operation to One-Shot AF.
Troubleshooting Guide ISO 100 cannot be set. ISO speed expansion cannot be selected. If [z4: Highlight tone priority] is set to [Enable], the settable ISO speed range will be ISO 200-25600 (or up to ISO 12800 for movie shooting). Even if you expand the settable ISO speed range in [ISO speed range], you cannot set expanded ISO speeds (L, H, H1, H2). When [z4: Highlight tone priority] is set to [Disable], ISO 100/125/160 can be set (p.130). The Auto Lighting Optimizer cannot be set.
Troubleshooting Guide The flash does not fire. If you use a non-Canon flash unit with Live View shooting, set [A2: Silent LV shoot.] to [Disable] (p.190). The flash always fires at full output. If you use a flash unit other than an EX-series Speedlite, the flash will always be fired at full output (p.171). When the [Flash metering mode] flash Custom Function is set to [TTL ] (autoflash), the flash will always be fired at full output (p.177). Flash exposure compensation cannot be set.
Troubleshooting Guide I cannot shoot a movie. Under the [53] tab, if you set [Wi-Fi] to [Enable], you cannot shoot movies. Before shooting movies, set [Wi-Fi] to [Disable]. Movie shooting stops by itself. If the card’s writing speed is slow, movie shooting may stop automatically. If the compression method is set to [IPB], use a card with a reading/writing speed of at least 6 MB per sec.
Troubleshooting Guide The manually set ISO speed changes when switching to movie shooting. If you shoot a movie when [Maximum: 25600] is set with [ISO speed range] and ISO speed is set to ISO 16000/20000/25600, the ISO speed will switch to ISO 12800 (during movie shooting with manual exposure). Even if you switch back to still photo shooting, the ISO speed will not revert to the original setting. If you shoot a movie when 1. L (ISO 50) or 2.
Troubleshooting Guide When I shoot still photos during movie shooting, the movie shooting stops. Setting a lower image quality for still photos and shooting fewer continuous still photos may resolve the problem. Time code is off. Shooting still photos during movie shooting will cause a discrepancy between the actual time and time code. When you want to edit a movie using time code, it is recommended not to shoot still photos during movie shooting. Wi-Fi Wi-Fi cannot be set.
Troubleshooting Guide Display Problems The menu screen shows few tabs and options. In Basic Zone modes, certain tabs and menu options are not displayed. Set a Creative Zone mode (p.51). 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.140). The file numbering does not start from 0001. If the card already contains recorded images, the image number may not start from 0001 (p.136).
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 When the movie is played back, camera operation noise can be heard. If you operate the camera’s dials or lens during movie shooting, the operation noise will also be recorded. Using an external microphone (commercially available) is recommended (p.219). 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. If this happens, shoot with shooting mode (p.
Troubleshooting Guide I cannot resize the image. c JPEG images and 1/41/61 images cannot be resized with the camera (p.277). Sensor Cleaning Problems The shutter makes a noise during sensor cleaning. If you selected [Clean nowf], the shutter will make a noise, but no picture is taken (p.280). Automatic sensor cleaning does not work. If you repeatedly turn the power switch <1> / <2> at a short interval, the icon may not be displayed (p.34).
Troubleshooting Guide Image Transfer Problems I cannot transfer images to a computer. Install the provided software (EOS DIGITAL Solution Disk CDROM) on the computer (p.392). Check that EOS Utility’s top screen is displayed. Under the [53] tab, if [Wi-Fi] is set to [Enable], the camera cannot connect to a computer. Set [Wi-Fi] to [Disable], then connect the camera to the computer with an interface cable.
Error Codes Error number If there is a problem with the camera, an error message will appear. Follow the onscreen instructions. Countermeasures Number 01 02 Error Message and Solution Communications between the camera and lens is faulty. Clean the lens contacts. ÎClean the electrical contacts on he camera and lens or use a Canon lens (p.17, 20). Card cannot be accessed. Reinsert/change card or format card with camera.
