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.  If the battery’s remaining capacity (p.334) is 94% or higher, the 
battery will not be recharged.
  Do not recharge any battery pa ck other than genuine Canon 
Battery Pack LP-E6.
 
If (1) the battery charger or ba ttery pack has a problem or (2) 
communication with the battery pack  failed (with a non-Canon battery 
pack), the protection circuit will stop th e charging and the lamp will blink in 
orange at high speed. In  the case of (1), unplug the charger’s power plug 
from the power outlet. Detach and reattach the battery pack to the charger. 
Wait a few minutes, then  reconnect the power plug  to the power outlet. If 
the problem persists, contact your dealer or nearest Canon Service Center.
  If the internal temperature of the battery pack attached to the 
charger is high, the charger will no t charge the battery for safety 
reasons (lamp off). During the charging, if the battery’s 
temperature becomes high for any  reason, the charging will stop 
automatically (lamp blinks). When the battery temperature goes 
down, the charging will resume automatically.
  Make sure the battery properly is installed in the camera (p.30).
  Make sure the battery compartment cover is closed (p.30).
  Make sure the card slot cover is closed (p.31).
  Recharge the battery (p.28).

Troubleshooting Guide
 If the power is turned off while  an image 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 power will 
turn off automatically.
  Use a fully-charged battery pack (p.28).
  The battery performance may have degraded. See [5 4: Battery 
info. ] to check the battery’s rec harge performance level (p.334). 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 halfway 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.
• The Eye-Fi card’s transmission is enabled.
• GPS is enabled.
  Auto power off is in effect. If you do not want auto power off to take 
effect, set [5 2: Auto power off ] to [Disable] (p.55).
  Even if [5 2: Auto power off ] is set to [Disable], the LCD monitor 
will still turn off after the camera  is left idle for 30 min. (The 
camera’s power does not turn off.)
The access lamp still blinks even when  the power switch is set to .
The battery becomes exhausted quickly.
The camera turns off by itself.

 The camera cannot be used wit h EF-S and EF-M lenses (p.39).
  Make sure the card is properly inserted (p.31).
  Slide the card’s write-protect switch to the write/erase position 
(p.31).
  If the card is full, replace the card or delete unnecessary images to 
make space (p.31, 267).
  If you try to focus in the One-Shot AF mode while the focus 
confirmation light < o> in the viewfinder b links, a picture cannot 
be taken. Press the shutter button halfway again to refocus 
automatically, or focus manually (p.44, 97).
  If a card error message is displayed, see page 33 or 370.

The card cannot be used.

Troubleshooting Guide
 Set the lens focus mode switch to < AF> (p.39).
  To prevent camera shake, press  the shutter button gently (p.43, 
44).
  If the lens has an Image Stabilizer, set the IS switch to < 1> 
(p.42).
  In low light, the shutter speed may become slow. Use a faster 
shutter speed (p.144), set a higher  ISO speed (p.106), use flash 
(p.170), or use a tripod.
  Set the AF operation to One-Shot AF . Focus lock is not possible in 
the AI Servo AF and AI Focus AF operations (p.69).
  Depending on the shutter speed,  aperture, subject conditions, 
brightness, etc., the continuous shooting speed may become 
slower.
  If you shoot something that has fi ne detail (such as a field of 
grass), the file size will be larg er and the actual maximum burst 
may be lower than the number mentioned on page 103.
The image is out of focus.
I cannot lock the focus and recompose the shot.
The continuous shooting speed is slow.
The maximum burst during co ntinuous shooting is lower.

 If [z 4: Highlight tone priority ] is set to [Enable], the settable 
ISO speed range will be ISO 200- 25600 (or up to ISO 12800 for 
movie shooting). Even if you ex pand the settable ISO speed range 
in [ISO speed range ], you cannot set expanded ISO speeds (L, H, 
H1, H2). When [ z4: Highlight tone priority ] is set to [Disable], 
ISO 100/125/160 can be set (p.130).
  If [z 4: Highlight tone priority ] is set to [Enable], the Auto 
Lighting Optimizer cannot be set. When [ z4: Highlight tone 
priority ] is set to [Disable], then the Auto Lighting Optimizer can 
be set (p.130).
  Set [ z3: Auto Lighting Optimizer ] to [Disable]. When 
[Standard/Low/High] is set, even if you  set a decreased exposure 
compensation or flash exposur e compensation, the image may 
come out bright (p.151).
  When the image-recording quality is set to  41 or 61 , the 
multiple-exposure image will be recorded in  1 quality (p.164).
  If you shoot at night when the background is dark, the shutter 
speed becomes slow automatically  (slow-sync shooting) so that 
both the subject and background ar e properly exposed. To prevent 
a slow shutter speed, under [ z2: External Speedlite control], 
set [ Flash sync. speed in Av mode ] to [1/180-1/60 sec. auto ] or 
[1/180 sec. (fixed) ] (p.173).
ISO 100 cannot be set. ISO speed 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 multiple-exposure image is shot in 1  quality.
When I use the  mode with flash, the shutter speed 
becomes slow.
