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 use any battery pack other than a genuine Canon Battery Pack 
LP-E10.
  If the battery charger has a problem, the protection circuit will stop the 
charging and the charge lamp will blink in orange. If this happens, 
unplug the charger’s power plug from the power outlet and detach the 
battery pack. Attach the battery pack to the charger again and wait a 
while before connecting the charger to a power outlet again.
  Make sure the battery is properly installed in the camera 
(p.32).
  Make sure the card slot/battery compartment cover is closed 
(p.32).
  Recharge the battery 
(p.30).
  Press the < B> button 
(p.52).
  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.

Power-Related Problems
The battery pack does not recharge.
The battery charger’s lamp blinks.
The camera does not oper ate even when the power 
switch is set to < 1>.
The access lamp still remains on or blinks even when 
the power switch is set to < 2>.

Troubleshooting Guide
 Use a fully-charged battery pack (p.30).
  The rechargeable battery pack performance will degrade over 
repeated use. Purchase 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 the LCD monitor frequently.
• Continuing Live View shooting or movie shooting for a prolonged 
period.
• Leaving the Eye-Fi card communication function on.
  Auto power off is in effect. If you do not want auto power off to take 
effect, set [ 51: Auto power off ] to [Disable ] (p.181).
  Even if [ 51: 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.) Press the < B> button to turn on the LCD 
monitor.
  The camera cannot be used with EF-M lenses (p.40).
The battery becomes exhausted quickly.
The camera turns off by itself.
Shooting-Related Problems
The lens cannot  be attached.

 Make sure the card is properly inserted (p.32).
  Slide the card’s write-protect switch to the write/erase position (p.32).
  If the card is full, replace the card or delete unnecessary images to 
make space (p.32, 227).
  If you try to focus in the One-Shot AF while the focus confirmation light 
 in the viewfinder blinks, a picture cannot be taken. Press the 
shutter button halfway again to refocus automatically, or focus 
manually (p.45, 97).
  If a card error message is displayed, see page 34 or 296.
  Set the lens’s focus mode switch to < AF> (p.40).
  To prevent camera shake, press the shutter button gently (p.44, 45).
  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.104), set a higher ISO speed (p.88), use flash (p.101), or use 
a tripod.
  Set the AF operation to One-Shot AF. Focus lock is not possible in the 
AI Servo AF, or when servo takes effect in AI Focus AF (p.93).
No images can be sh ot or recorded.
The card cannot be used.
The image is out of focus.
I cannot lock the focus and recompose the shot.

Troubleshooting Guide
 Horizontal stripes (noise) or irregular exposures can be caused by 
fluorescent light, LED bulbs, or other light sources during viewfinder or 
Live View shooting. Also, the exposure or color tone may not come out 
properly. A slow shutter speed may solve the problem.
  During viewfinder shooting or Live View shooting, if you use a TS-E 
lens (except the TS-E17mm f/4L or TS-E24mm f/3.5L II) and shift or tilt 
the lens or use an Extension Tube, the standard exposure may not be 
obtained or the exposure may be irregular.
  Depending on the lens type, shutter speed, aperture, subject 
conditions, brightness, etc., the continuous shooting speed may 
become slower.
  Under [ 53: Custom Functions (C.Fn) ], set [5: High ISO speed 
noise reduct’n ] to [0: Standard ], [1: Low ], or [3: Disable ]. If it is set to 
[ 2: Strong ], the maximum burst during continuous shooting will greatly 
decrease (p.261).
  During WB bracketing, the maximum burst for continuous shooting will 
decrease (p.130).
  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 numbers listed on page 85.
Horizontal stripes appear, or the exposure 
or color tone look strange.
The standard expos ure cannot be obtained or the 
exposure is irregular.
The continuous shooting speed is slow.
The maximum burst during continuous shooting is lower.

 Under [ 53: Custom Functions (C.Fn) ], if [6: Highlight tone priority ] 
is set to [ 1: Enable ], ISO 100 cannot be set. If [ 0: Disable] is set, ISO 
100 can be set (p.261). This also applies to movie shooting (p.173).
  Under [ 53: Custom Functions (C.Fn) ], if [6: Highlight tone priority ] 
is set to [ 1: Enable ], the [H] ISO speed (equivalent to ISO 12800) 
cannot be selected even when [ 2: ISO expansion] is set to [1: On]. If 
[ 6: Highlight tone priority ] is set to [0: Disable ], [H] can be set 
(p.261).
  Under [ 53: Custom Functions (C.Fn) ], if [6: Highlight tone priority ] 
is set to [ 1: Enable ], Auto Lighting Optimizer cannot be set. If [0: 
Disable] is set, the Auto Lighting Optimizer can be set (p.261).
  Set [ z2: Auto Lighting Optimizer ] to [Disable ]. When [ Standard ], 
[ Low ] or [High] is set, even if you set a decreased exposure 
compensation or flash exposure compensation, the image may come 
out bright (p.119).
  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 are properly exposed. To prevent a slow 
shutter speed, under [ 53: Custom Functions (C.Fn) ], set [3: Flash 
sync. speed in Av mode ] to [1: 1/200-1/60 sec. auto ] or [2: 1/200 
sec. (fixed) ] (p.259).
ISO 100 cannot be set.
ISO speed [H] (equivalent to ISO 12800) cannot be set.
The Auto Lighting Optimizer cannot be set.
Even though I set a decrease d exposure compensation, 
the image comes out bright.
When I use the < f> mode with flash, the shutter 
speed becomes slow.

Troubleshooting Guide
 In shooting modes (< A>   < 4> ) whose default 
settings are  (Auto flash), the built-in flash will rise automatically 
when necessary.
  If you shoot continuously with the built-in flash at short intervals, the 
flash may stop firing to protect the flash unit.
  If you use a flash unit other than an EX-series Speedlite, the flash will 
always be fired at full output (p.271).
  Under [ z1: Flash control ], if [Flash metering mode] for [ External 
flash C.Fn setting ] is set to [TTL], the flash will always fire at full 
output (p.197).
  If flash exposure compensation has already been set with the external 
Speedlite, flash exposure compensation cannot be set with the 
camera. When the external Speedlite’s flash exposure compensation 
is canceled (set to 0), flash exposure compensation can be set with 
the camera.
  Under [ 53: Custom Functions (C.Fn) ], set [3: Flash sync. speed in 
Av mode ] to [0: Auto ] (p.259).
The built-in flash is raised by itself.
The built-in flash does not fire.
The flash always fir es at full output.
I cannot set flash exposu re compensation when 
using an external Speedlite.
High-speed sync cannot be set in the < f> mode.

 The built-in flash’s pop-up mechanism moves slightly. This is normal 
and not a malfunction.
  If you use flash, the shutter will make two sounds each time you shoot 
(p.135).
  It indicates that the camera’s internal temperature is high. If the white 
 icon is displayed, the still photo’s image quality may deteriorate. 
If the red < E> icon is displayed, it indicates that the Live View or 
movie shooting will soon stop automatically (p.151, 177).
  If the card’s writing speed is slow, movie shooting may stop 
automatically. Use an SD Speed Class 6 “ ” or faster card. To 
find out the card’s reading/writing speed, refer to the card 
manufacturer’s Web site, etc.
  If a movie clip’s file size reaches 4 GB or the shooting length reaches 
29 min. 59 sec., the movie shooting will stop automatically.
  If [
Z1: Movie exposure ] is set to [Auto], the ISO speed will be set 
automatically. If [Manual ] is set, you can set the ISO speed manually 
(p.156).
The camera makes a noise when it is shaken.
The shutter makes two shooting  sounds 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.
