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-E12. The battery charger’s lamp blinks.
Troubleshooting Guide The battery becomes exhausted quickly. Use a fully-charged battery pack (p.30). 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 No images can be shot or recorded. Make sure the card is properly inserted (p.32). Slide the card’s write-protect switch to the write/erase position (p.32). If the card is full, replace the card or delete unnecessary images to make space (p.32, 268). If you try to focus in the One-Shot AF mode while the focus confirmation light in the viewfinder blinks, a picture cannot be taken. Press the shutter button halfway again to refocus automatically, or focus manually (p.43, 107).
Troubleshooting Guide Horizontal stripes appear, or the exposure or color tone look strange. Horizontal stripes (noise) or irregular exposures can be caused by fluorescent light, LED bulbs, 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 [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.301). This also applies to movie shooting (p.186). ISO speed [H] (equivalent to ISO 25600) cannot be set. Under [54: Custom Functions (C.
Troubleshooting Guide The built-in flash is raised by itself. In shooting modes ( <2> <4> <6>) whose default setting is (Auto flash), the built-in flash will rise automatically when 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.
Troubleshooting Guide 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.151). With FlexiZone - Multi, it takes longer to autofocus. Depending on the shooting conditions, focusing the subject may take longer. Either use FlexiZone - Single or focus manually. During Live View and movie shooting, a white or red icon is displayed. It indicates that the camera’s internal temperature is high.
Troubleshooting Guide 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. The changes in the exposure may be recorded as a result. The subject looks distorted during movie shooting.
Troubleshooting Guide 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). 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.146). The file name starts with “MVI_”. It is a movie file (p.222). The file numbering does not start from 0001.
Troubleshooting Guide [###] is displayed. If the card has recorded a number of images greater than the camera can display, [###] will be displayed (p.249). 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.
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.210). 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.
Troubleshooting Guide 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.236). 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.35). Printing-Related Problems There are fewer printing effects than listed in the instruction manual. What is displayed on the screen differs depending on the printer.
Error Codes If there is a problem with the camera, an error message will appear. Follow the onscreen instructions. Error number Cause and countermeasures Number 01 02 Error Message and Solution Communications between the camera and lens is faulty. Clean the lens contacts. Î Clean the electrical contacts on the camera and lens or use a Canon lens (p.21, 22). Card cannot be accessed. Reinsert/change card or format card with camera.
