    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.
     Do not recharge any battery pack ot her than a genuine Canon Battery 
    Pack LP-E4N or LP-E4.
     
    See pages 32 and 33. If you are rechar ging Battery Pack LP-E4N with 
    Battery Charger LC-E4 and all three  Charge level lamps blink in green, 
    use the charger to check the battery  pack’s recharge performance (p.31).
    • If a Charge level lamp lights up, you can keep using the battery pack. 
    However, if the battery pack’s recharge performance is low, replacing 
    the battery pack with  a new one is recommended.
    • If no Charge level lamps light up, t he battery pack is faulty. Remove 
    the battery pack from the charger  and consult your dealer or nearest 
    Canon Service Center.
      Make sure the battery is properly  installed in the camera (p.34).
      Make sure the card slot cover is closed (p.35).
      Recharge the battery (p.30).
     
    If the power is turned off while an im age is being recorded to the card, the 
    access lamp will remain on/continue  to blink for a few seconds. When the 
    image recording is completed, the po wer will turn off automatically.

    Troubleshooting Guide
     Use a fully-charged battery pack (p.30).
      The battery performance may have degraded. See [ 53: Battery info.] 
    to check the battery’s recharge  performance level (p.360). If the 
    battery performance is poor, replace the battery pack with a new one. 
      The number of possible shots will decrease with any of the following 
    operations:
    • Pressing the shutter button hal fway for a prolonged period.
    • Often activating only the AF  without taking a picture.
    • Using the lens’ Image Stabilizer.
    • Using the LCD monitor often.
    • Continuing Live View shooting or  movie shooting for a prolonged 
    period.
      Auto power off is in effect. If you  do not want auto power off to take 
    effect, set [ 52: Auto power off ] to [Disable ] (p.57).
      Even if [ 52: Auto power off ] is set to [Disable], the LCD monitor will 
    still turn off after the camera is le ft idle for 30 min. (The camera’s 
    power does not turn off.)
      The camera cannot be used with EF-S lenses (p.43).
      Install a recharged battery pack in the camera (p.34).
    The battery becomes exhausted quickly.
    The camera turns off by itself.

    Troubleshooting Guide
     Make sure the card is  properly inserted (p.35).
      If the card is full, replace the ca rd or delete unnecessary images to 
    make room (p.35, 280).
      If you try to focus in the One- Shot AF mode while the focus 
    confirmation light < o> in the viewfinder blin ks, a picture cannot be 
    taken. Press the shutter button halfw ay again to refocus automatically, 
    or focus manually (p.46, 109).
      If a card error message is di splayed, see page 37 or 388.
      Cards with capacities greater than  128 GB are formatted in exFAT. 
    This means that if you format a card  with a capacity over 128 GB with 
    this camera and then insert it  into another camera, an error may be 
    displayed and it may not be  possible to use the card.
      Set the lens focus mode switch to < AF> (p.43).
      To prevent camera shake, press t he shutter button gently (p.45, 46).
      If the lens has an Image Stabiliz er, set the IS switch to .
      In low light, the shutter speed may  become slow. Use a faster shutter 
    speed (p.167), set a higher ISO spee d (p.124), use flash (p.189), or 
    use a tripod.
    No images can be shot or recorded.
    The card cannot be used.
    An error message is displayed when the card is inserted in 
    another camera.
    The image is out of focus.

    Troubleshooting Guide
     Depending on the attached lens, the number of usable AF points and 
    patterns will differ. The lenses ar e categorized into eight groups from A 
    to H. Check which group your lens belongs to. Using a lens in Groups 
    F to H will have fewer  usable AF points (p.76).
      When you press the < S> button, the blinking AF points are those that 
    are not cross-type AF points and are only horizontal line-sensitive. The 
    AF points that light up are  cross-type AF points (p.71).
      The AF point at the regist ered area is blinking (p.338).
      Set the AF mode to One-Shot AF. Note  that focus lock will not work in 
    the AI Servo AF mode (p.67).
      At the < o> setting, the maximum continuous speed will be approx. 
    10 shots/sec. if the ISO speed  is set to any of the following:
    • ISO 32000 or higher is set manually.
    •[ Auto ISO range ]’s [Maximum ] is set to [51200] and Auto ISO 
    automatically sets ISO 32000 or higher.
    •[ 8 1: Safety shift ] is set to [ISO speed ] and the safety shift 
    automatically sets ISO 32000 or higher.
    Note that if the camera’s internal  temperature is low, and when ISO 
    20000 or higher is set manually  or automatically, the maximum 
    continuous shooting speed for < o> will be approx. 10 fps.
      Depending on the ISO speed, shu tter speed, aperture, subject 
    conditions, brightness, lens type,  etc., the continuous shooting speed 
    may become slower.
      If [Auto AF pt sel.: EOS iTR AF ] is set to [Enable] (p.95) and you 
    shoot under low light, the conti nuous shooting speed will decrease.
    There are fewer AF points.
    The AF points are blinking.
    I cannot lock the focus and recompose the shot.
    The continuous shooting speed slows down.

    Troubleshooting Guide
     If you shoot something that has fine  detail (such as a field of grass), 
    the file size will be larger and the  actual maximum burst may be lower 
    than the number mentioned on page 120.
     
    If [z2: Highlight tone priority] is set to [Enable], the settable ISO 
    speed range will be ISO 200 - 51200 (ISO  200 - 25600 for movie shooting). 
    Even if you expand the sett able ISO speed range in [
    ISO speed range], 
    you cannot set expanded ISO speeds (L, H, H1, or H2). If [
    z2: Highlight 
    tone priority] is set to [Disable], ISO 100/125/160 can be set (p.150).
      If [z 2: Highlight tone priority ] is set to [Enable], the Auto Lighting 
    Optimizer cannot be set. If [ z2: Highlight tone priority ]  is set to 
    [ Disable ], then the Auto Lighting Optimizer can be set (p.150).
      Set [ z2: Auto Lighting Optimizer ] to [Disable ]. When [ Standard/
    Low/High ]
     is set, even if you set a decr eased exposure compensation or 
    flash exposure compensation, the im age may come out bright (p.146).
     If [On:ContShtng ] is set, Live View displa y, image review after image 
    capture, and image playback are not possible during shooting (p.180).
      When the image size is set to  41 or 61 , the multiple-exposure 
    image will be recorded in  1 quality (p.186).
    The maximum burst during c ontinuous shooting is lower.
    ISO 100 cannot be set/ISO sp eed expansion cannot be 
    selected.
    The Auto Lighting Optimizer cannot be set.
    Even though I set a decreased exposure compensation, the 
    image comes out bright.
    The Live View image or capt ured image is not displayed 
    during multiple-exposure shooting.
    The multiple-exposure image is shot in  1 quality.

    Troubleshooting Guide
     If you shoot at night when the backg round is dark, the shutter speed 
    becomes slow automatically (slow- sync shooting) so that both the 
    subject and background are properly  exposed. To prevent a slow 
    shutter speed, under [ z3: External Speedlite control ], set [Flash 
    sync. speed in Av mode ] to [1/250-1/60 sec. auto ] or [1/250 sec. 
    (fixed) ] (p.194).
      Make sure the flash (or PC sync co rd) is securely attached to the 
    camera.
      If you use a non-Canon flash unit  with Live View shooting, set [z4: 
    Silent LV shoot. ] to [Disable ] (p.208).
      If you use a flash unit other than an  EX-series Speedlite, the flash will 
    always be fired at  full output (p.191).
      When the [Flash metering mode ] flash Custom Function is set to 
    [ TTL ] (autoflash), the flash will alwa ys be fired at full output (p.198).
      If flash exposure compensation  has already been set with the 
    Speedlite, flash exposure com pensation cannot be set with the 
    camera. When the Speedlite’s flash exposure compensation is 
    canceled (set to 0), flash exposur e compensation can be set with the 
    camera.
      Under [ z3: External Speedlite control ], set [Flash sync. speed in 
    Av mode ] to [Auto ] (p.194).
    When I use the < f> mode with flash, the shutter speed 
    becomes slow.
    The flash does not fire.
    The flash always fi res at full output.
    Flash exposure compensation cannot be set.
    High-speed sync cannot be set in the  mode.

    Troubleshooting Guide
     If you use flash, the shutter will ma ke two sounds each time you shoot 
    (p.202).
      It indicates that the camera’s intern al temperature is high. If the white 
    < > icon displayed, the still photo’s  image quality may deteriorate. If 
    the red  icon is displayed, it indicates that the Live View or movie 
    shooting will soon stop automatically (p.217, 243).
      If the card’s writing speed is  slow, movie shooting may stop 
    automatically. With IPB compression, use a card with an actual 
    reading/writing speed of at least  10 MB/sec. With ALL-I (I-only) 
    compression, the card should have  an actual reading/writing speed of 
    at least 30 MB/sec. To find out  the card’s speed, see the card 
    manufacturer’s Web site (p.219).
      If the movie shooting time reaches  29 min. 59 sec., the movie shooting 
    will stop automatically.
      If the shooting mode is < d/s /f /BULB >, the ISO speed will be set 
    automatically. In the < a> mode, you can freely set the ISO speed 
    (p.226).
      Under [ z2: ISO speed settings ], if [ISO speed range ]’s [Maximum] 
    is set to [ 51200/H] or higher, the manual setting range’s Maximum will 
    be expanded to enable ISO 32000/40000/51200 to be set. However, 
    since movie shooting at ISO 32000/40000/51200 may result in 
    substantial noise, the expanded ISO speed (“ H” displayed) will be 
    used.
    The shutter makes two shooting soun ds during Live View shooting.
    During Live View and movie shooting, a white   or red  E 
    icon is displayed.
    Movie shooting stops by itself.
    The ISO speed cannot be set for movie shooting.
    For movie shooting, ISO 3200 0/40000/51200 cannot be set.

    Troubleshooting Guide
     If you shoot a movie when [ Maximum: 51200] is set with [ISO speed 
    range ] and ISO speed is set to  ISO 32000/40000/51200, the ISO 
    speed will switch to ISO 25600 (dur ing movie shooting with manual 
    exposure). Even if you switch back to still photo shooting, the ISO 
    speed will not revert to  the original setting.
      If you shoot a movie when L (ISO 50) is set, the ISO speed setting will 
    switch to ISO 100 (during movie shooting with manual exposure). 
    Even if you switch back to still photo shooting, the ISO speed will not 
    revert to the original setting.
      If you change the shutter speed or  aperture during movie shooting, the 
    changes in the exposure may be recorded.
      Zooming the lens during movie s hooting can cause changes in the 
    exposure regardless of whether the  lens’ maximum aperture changes 
    or not. Changes in the exposure  may be recorded as a result.
      If you move the camera to the left  or right quickly (high-speed panning) 
    or shoot a moving subject, t he image may look distorted.
      Flickering, horizontal stripes (noise ), or irregular exposures can be 
    caused by fluorescent light, LED  bulbs, or other light sources during 
    movie shooting. Also, changes in th e exposure (brightness) or color 
    tone may also be re corded. In the  mode, a slow shutter speed 
    may solve the problem.
    The manually set ISO speed changes when switching to 
    movie shooting.
    The exposure changes during movie shooting.
    The subject looks distorted during movie shooting.
    The image flickers or horizontal  stripes appear during movie 
    shooting.

    Troubleshooting Guide
     To shoot still photos during movie shooting, us ing a CF card 
    compatible with UDMA transfer rates is recommended.
      Setting a smaller image size for  the still photos and shooting fewer 
    continuous shots may resolve the problem.
     
    Shooting still photos during movie shooting will cause a discrepancy 
    between the actual time and time code. When you want to edit a movie using 
    time code, it is recommended not to shoot still photos during movie shooting.
      Set the power switch to < 1> (p.38).
      Check the [ 85: Multi function lock ] setting (p.329).
      Set the vertical-grip operation switch to < 1> (p.49).
      Check the [ 85: Custom Controls ] setting (p.333).
      Set the color space to sRGB. If Adobe  RGB is set, the first character 
    will be an underscore (p.162).
    When I shoot still photos during movie shooting, the movie 
    shooting stops.
    The time code is off.
    Operation Problems
    I cannot change the setting with < 6>, , or < 9>.
    Vertical-grip controls such as  and  do not work.
    The camera button/dial’s function has changed.
    Display Problems
    The file name’s first charac ter is an underscore (“_”).
