If a problem occurs with the camera, first consult 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 is 94% or higher, the battery will 
not be recharged (p.526).
  Do not use any battery other than genuine Canon Battery Pack 
LP-E6N/LP-E6.
  If (1) the battery charger or battery has a problem or (2) 
communication with the battery failed (with a non-Canon battery 
pack), the protection circuit will  stop charging, and the charge 
lamp will blink in orange at a high speed. In the case of (1), unplug 
the charger’s power plug from the power outlet. Detach and 
reattach the battery 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 attached to the charger is 
high, the charger will not charge t he battery for safety reasons (lamp 
off). During charging, if the battery ’s temperature becomes high for 
any reason, charging will stop auto matically (lamp blinks). When the 
battery temperature goes down, char ging will resume automatically.
 Make sure the battery compartment cover is closed (p.44).
  Make sure the battery is installed properly in the camera (p.44).
  Recharge the battery (p.42).
  Make sure the card slot cover is closed (p.45).

Troubleshooting Guide
 If the power is turned off while an image is being recorded to the 
card, the access lamp will remain on or continue to blink for a few 
seconds. When the image recording is completed, the power will 
turn off automatically.
  Do not use any battery other than genuine Canon Battery Pack 
LP-E6N/LP-E6.
  Remove and install the battery again (p.44).
  If the electrical contacts are dirty,  use a soft cloth to clean them.
  Use a fully-charged battery (p.42).
  The battery performance may have degraded. See [ 53: Battery 
info. ] to check the battery’s rec harge performance level (p.526). If 
the battery performance is poor, r eplace the battery 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.
• Activating the AF frequently without taking a picture.
• Using the lens’s Image Stabilizer.
• Using GPS.
• Using the LCD monitor frequently.
• Continuing Live View shooting or movie shooting for a prolonged 
period.
• Using the Wi-Fi/NFC (wireless communication) function  frequently.
• The Eye-Fi card’s transmission is enabled.

the power switch is < 2>.
[Does this battery/do these batteries display the Canon logo?] 
is displayed.

 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.76).
  Even if [ 52: Auto power off ] is set to [Disable], the LCD monitor 
will still turn off after the camera is left idle for approx. 30 min. (The 
camera’s power does not turn off.)
  The camera cannot be used with EF-S or EF-M lenses (p.55).
  Install a recharged battery in the camera (p.42).
  Make sure the card is properly inserted (p.45).
  If you are using an SD card, slide the card’s write-protect switch to 
the Write/Erase setting (p.45).
  If the card is full, replace the card or delete unnecessary images 
to make space (p.45, 439).
  If you try to focus in the One-Shot AF mode and the focus 
indicator < o> in the viewfinder blinks,  or when the AF point is 
orange during Live View/movie  shooting, a picture cannot be 
taken. Press the shutter button halfway again to refocus 
automatically, or focus manually (p.58, 159).
The camera turns off by itself.

Troubleshooting Guide
 If a card error message is displayed, see page 48 or 573.
  CF cards with a capacity greater than 128 GB and SDXC cards 
are formatted in exFAT. This means that if you format a card 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 [ z4: Mirror lockup ] to [Disable ].
  Set the lens’s focus mode switch to < AF> (p.55).
  Press the shutter button gently to prevent camera shake (p.57, 
58).
  If the lens has an Image Stabilizer, set the IS switch to < 1>.
  In low light, the shutter speed may become slow. Use a faster 
shutter speed (p.246), set a higher ISO speed (p.177), use flash 
(p.286), or use a tripod.
  See “Minimizing Blurred Photos” on page 96.
The card cannot be used.
An error message is displayed when 
the card is inserted in another camera.
I have to press the shutter button twice 
completely to take a picture.
The image is out of focus or blurred.

 Depending on the attached lens, the number of usable AF points 
and patterns and Area AF frame’s shape vary. The lenses are 
categorized into 11 groups from A to K (p.115). Check which 
group your lens belongs to. Using a lens in groups G to K will have 
fewer usable AF points (p.118-121).
  Regarding the AF points lighting up or blinking when you press 
the < S> button, see page 108.
  The registered AF point at that position is blinking (p.108, 500).
  The manually-selected AF point  (or zone) and the registered AF 
point are displayed (p.107, 500).
  Set the AF operation to One-Shot AF (p.100, 101, 314). Focus 
lock (p.97, 101) is not possible with AI Servo AF/Servo AF (p.102, 
315) and when servo AF is used with AI Focus AF (p.102).
  The AF points light up in red only when focus is achieved in low 
light or with a dark subject.
  In the < d>, < s>, < f >, , or < F> mode, you can set 
whether to have the AF points light in red for when focus is 
achieved (p.150).
There are fewer AF points or the Area AF frame shape is different.
The AF point is blinking or two AF points are displayed.
I cannot lock the focus and recompose the shot.
The AF points do not light up in red.
