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 use any battery pack 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 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. • 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.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, 227). If you try to focus in the One-Shot AF 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.45, 97).
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 properly. 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.261). This also applies to movie shooting (p.173). ISO speed [H] (equivalent to ISO 12800) cannot be set. Under [53: Custom Functions (C.
Troubleshooting Guide The built-in flash is raised by itself. In shooting modes ( <2> <4> <6>) whose default settings are (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 firing to protect the flash unit. The flash always fires at full output.
Troubleshooting Guide 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.135). 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 The file name starts with “MVI_”. It is a movie file (p.185). The file numbering does not start from 0001. If the card already contains recorded images, the image number may not start from 0001 (p.184). The shooting date and time displayed is incorrect. Make sure the correct date and time has been set (p.37). Check the time zone and daylight saving time (p.37). The date and time is not in the picture. The shooting date and time does not appear in the picture.
Troubleshooting Guide Playback Problems Part of the image blinks in black. It is the highlight alert (p.231). 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.225). The movie cannot be played back. Movies edited with a computer using ImageBrowser EX (p.319) or other EOS software cannot be played back with the camera. However, video snapshot albums edited with EOS Video Snapshot Task (p.
Troubleshooting Guide No image appears on the TV screen. Make sure the HDMI cable’s plug is inserted all the way in (p.222). 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 (EOS software, p.318). I cannot resize the image.
Troubleshooting Guide Printing-Related Problems There are fewer printing effects than listed in the instruction manual. Contents displayed on the screen differ depending on the printer. This instruction manual lists all the printing effects available (p.244). Computer Connection Problems I cannot download images to a computer. Install the EOS software (EOS DIGITAL Solution Disk CD-ROM) on the computer (p.320).
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.
