Troubleshooting

Troubleshooting

If you have a problem with your camera, refer to this section. Consult your dealer or a Canon Service Center if
the problem persists.

Power source

The camera will not turn on or it turns off by itself.
- The battery pack is exhausted. Replace or charge the battery pack.
- Remove the battery pack and reattach it correctly.
Shortly after turning it on, the camera turns off on its own.
- You are using a battery pack that is not compatible for use with this camera. Use a recommended battery pack
(A 223).
Cannot charge the battery pack.
- The temperature of the battery pack is outside the charging range. If the battery pack’s temperature is below 0 °C
(32 °F), warm it before charging it; if it is above 40 °C (104 °F), let the battery pack cool down before charging it.
- Charge the battery pack in temperatures between 0 °C and 40 °C (32 °F and 104 °F).
- The battery pack is faulty. Replace the battery pack.
The battery pack is exhausted extremely quickly even at normal temperatures.
- Check the [Battery/Hour Meter] status screen (A 203) to check if the battery pack has reached the end of its battery
life. If so, buy a new battery pack.

Recording

The camera’s controls are not responsive/disabled.
- The camera grip’s plug may not be correctly connected to the camera. When attaching the camera grip to the camera,
make sure the camera grip’s plug is firmly inserted all the way into the connection terminal on the camera (A 43). If
you changed the angle of the camera grip, make sure you did not partially disconnect the plug by mistake.
-When the
Q
switch is set to
C
, all buttons (or all buttons with the exception of some REC buttons) are locked
and cannot be operated. Set the
Q
switch to CAMERA. You can change which controls are locked with the
> [$ System Setup] > [Key Lock] setting (A 194).
Pressing the REC button will not start recording.
- The recording media is full or it already contains the maximum number of clips (999 clips). Delete some clips (A 147)
or save your clips (A 159) and initialize the recording media (A 50) to free some space. Alternatively, replace the
recording media.
- The REC button that was used may be disabled. Change the current settings in the
> [$ System Setup] >
[Camera REC Button] or [Camera Grip REC Button] setting to enable the use of the desired REC buttons.
- You may not be able to start or stop recording while controls on the optional RC-V100 Remote Controller are being
operated. Stop using the remote controller and then press the REC button.
The point where the REC button was pressed does not match the beginning/end of the recording.
- There is a slight interval between pressing the REC button and the actual start/end of recording. This is not a
malfunction.
The camera will not focus.
- The camera may not be able to focus on certain subjects using autofocus. Focus manually (A 81).
- When the AF mode is set to AF-boosted MF, start focusing manually until the AF frame changes to white (automatic
adjustment range).
-
k
The viewfinder is not adjusted. Use the dioptric adjustment lever to make the proper adjustment (A 40).
- The lens is dirty. Clean the lens with a soft lens-cleaning cloth.
When a subject flits across in front of the lens, the image appears slightly bent.
- This is a phenomenon typical of CMOS image sensors. When a subject crosses very quickly in front of the camera, the
image may seem slightly warped. This is not a malfunction.
Bright red, green or blue dots appear on the screen.
- Try adjusting the black balance (A 53). The camera’s CMOS sensor is a delicate piece of precision engineering. Direct
exposure of the sensor to ion rays or other types of cosmic radiation may affect it and this may rarely appear as bright colored
dots on the screen. This is the nature of CMOS image sensors and does not represent a malfunction.
- The effects of the damage may be more noticeable when the camera is used in places subject to high temperatures,
when a high ISO speed or gain level is used and when slow shutter speeds are used.
