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. Do not recharge any battery pack other than a genuine Canon Battery Pack LP-E8. The battery charger’s lamp blinks.
Troubleshooting Guide The battery becomes exhausted quickly. Use a fully-charged battery pack (p.28). The rechargeable battery pack 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. • Often activating only the AF without taking a picture. • Using the lens Image Stabilizer. • Using the LCD monitor often.
Troubleshooting Guide Shooting-Related Problems 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 room (p.31, 268). If you try to focus in the One-Shot AF operation while the focus confirmation light in the viewfinder blinks, a picture cannot be taken.
Troubleshooting Guide I cannot lock the focus and recompose the shot. Set the AF operation to One-Shot AF. Focus lock is not possible in the AI Servo AF and AI Focus AF operations (p.98). With FlexiZone - Multi, it takes longer to autofocus. Depending on the shooting conditions, it may take longer to focus the subject. Use FlexiZone - Single instead or focus manually. The continuous shooting speed is slow. Depending on the lens type, shutter speed, aperture, subject conditions, brightness, etc.
Troubleshooting Guide ISO 100 cannot be set. Under [54: Custom Functions (C.Fn)], if [3: Highlight tone priority] is set to [1: Enable], ISO 100 cannot be set. If [0: Disable] is set, ISO 100 can be set (p.299). This also applies to movie shooting (p.178). ISO speed [H] (ISO 25600) cannot be set. Under [54: Custom Functions (C.Fn)], if [3: Highlight tone priority] is set to [1: Enable], the [H] ISO speed (25600) cannot be selected even when [2: ISO expansion] is set to [1: On].
Troubleshooting Guide The built-in flash is raised by itself. In the A, C, 2, 4, 6, and G modes, the built-in flash will be raised automatically when flash is necessary. The built-in flash does not fire. If you shoot continuously with the built-in flash at short intervals, the flash may stop operating to protect the flash unit. 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.310).
Troubleshooting Guide High-speed sync cannot be set in the mode. Under [z1: Flash control], set [Flash sync. speed in Av mode] to [Auto] (p.219). The camera makes a noise when it is shaken. The built-in flash’s pop-up mechanism moves slightly. This is normal. 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.147). During Live View and movie shooting, a white or red icon is displayed.
Troubleshooting Guide The ISO speed cannot be set for movie shooting. In shooting modes other than , the ISO speed is set automatically. In the mode, you can freely set the ISO speed (p.178). 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. Zooming the lens during movie shooting can cause changes in the exposure regardless of whether the lens’ maximum aperture changes or not.
Troubleshooting Guide Operation Problems During touch screen operations, the beeper suddenly sounds softer. Check if your finger is covering the speaker (p.21). Touch screen operation is not possible. Check if [Enable] is set with [53: Touch control] (p.55). Display Problems The menu screen shows few 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.46).
Troubleshooting Guide The shooting date and time displayed is incorrect. Make sure the correct date and time has been set (p.36). Check the time zone and daylight savings time (p.36). The date and time is not in the picture. The shooting date and time does not appear in the picture. The date and time is instead recorded in the image data as shooting information. When printing, you can imprint the date and time in the picture by using the date and time recorded in the shooting information (p.285).
Troubleshooting Guide Playback Problems Part of the image blinks in black. It is the highlight alert (p.272). Overexposed highlight areas with a loss of highlight detail will blink. The image cannot be erased. If the image is protected, it cannot be erased (p.266). The movie cannot be played back. Movies edited with a personal computer using the provided ImageBrowser EX (p.364) or other software cannot be played back with the camera. However, video snapshot albums edited with EOS Video Snapshot Task (p.
Troubleshooting Guide There are multiple movie files for a single movie shoot. If the movie file size reaches 4 GB, another movie file will be created automatically (p.186). My card reader does not recognize the card. Depending on the card reader and computer OS used, SDXC cards may not be correctly recognized. If this occurs, connect your camera to the computer with the provided interface cable, then transfer the images to your computer using EOS Utility (provided software, p.364).
