Troubleshooting Guide If there is a problem, 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 cannot be recharged with the battery charger provided. 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 cut off while an image is being recorded to the card, the access lamp will light/blink for a few sec. When the image recording is completed, the power will turn off automatically. The battery becomes exhausted quickly. Use a fully-charged battery (p.24). The battery performance might be degraded. See the [7 Battery info.] menu to check the battery’s performance level (p.212).
Troubleshooting Guide No images can be shot or recorded. The card is not properly inserted (p.29). If the card is full, replace the card or delete unnecessary images to make room (p.29, 160). If you try to focus in 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 focus, or focus manually (p.35, 84). The image is out of focus. Set the lens focus mode switch to (p.31).
Troubleshooting Guide When I use the mode with flash, the shutter speed becomes slow. If you shoot night scenes, the shutter speed becomes slow automatically (slow-sync shooting) so that both the subject and background are properly exposed. If you do not want a slow shutter speed to be set, set [8C.Fn I -7: Flash sync. speed in Av mode] to 1 or 2 (p.194). The flash does not fire. Make sure the flash (or PC sync cord) is securely attached to the camera.
Troubleshooting Guide Live View shooting is not possible. For Live View shooting, use a memory card (a hard disk-type card is not recommended). A hard disk-type card requires a lower temperature range for operation than normal memory cards. If the temperature gets too high, the Live View shooting may stop temporarily to prevent damage to the card’s hard disk. When the camera’s internal temperature decreases, you can resume Live View shooting (p.123).
Troubleshooting Guide During movie shooting, the exposure becomes bright momentarily. Changing the aperture during movie shooting is not recommended since changes in the exposure, due to the drive of the lens aperture, will be recorded. If you use a lens whose aperture changes while you zoom, you should not zoom while shooting a movie. Zooming while shooting a movie may record changes in the exposure. When the movie is played, the subject looks distorted.
Troubleshooting Guide Display & Operation Problems The LCD monitor does not display a clear image. If dust is adhering to the LCD monitor, wipe its surface with a lens cloth or soft cloth. In low or high temperatures, the LCD monitor display may seem slow or might look black. It will return to normal at room temperature. Few tabs and options are displayed on the menu screen. In the fully-automatic modes (1/C), some tabs and options are not displayed. Set the shooting mode to (p.40).
Troubleshooting Guide No image appears on the TV screen. Make sure the stereo video cable or HDMI cable’s plug is connected all the way in (p.157,158). Set the video OUT format (NTSC/PAL) to the same video format as the TV (p.221). Use the stereo video cable that came with the camera (p.157). Sensor Cleaning Problems The shutter makes a noise during sensor cleaning. If you selected [Clean nowf], the shutter will make a shutter sound two times (p.166).
Error Codes Error No. Countermeasures If there is a problem with the camera, an error message appears. Follow the onscreen instructions. To recover from the error screen, turn the power switch <2> and <1>, or remove and reinstall the battery. If error 02 (Card problem) is displayed, remove and reinstall the card or format the card. This may resolve the problem. If the same error keeps appearing, there may be a problem. Write down the error code and consult your nearest Canon Service Center. No.
