Canon EOS camera errors.

The camera has evolved a lot over the last three decades. It has evolved from a mechanical device to a highly sophisticated one, with a control panel and internal components very similar to those of a computer.

Like computers, they can sometimes get into internal “conflict” and crash. A reboot often solves the problem, just as with computers and we can get back to work as normal.

On current Canon cameras, a series of codes have been installed, which give a lot of information about the type of error that is affecting the camera. Giving the user at least an idea of what is going on.

On other occasions we have already talked about the most common errors in Canon EOS cameras, today we want to continue listing the most common error codes. And at the same time, the possible steps that the user can follow to try to solve the problem by his own means.

Error 10 - File malfunction

This error is indicating an error in the files on the memory card. Either the ones that are written or the ones that are trying to be saved. Restart the camera, transfer the files to a computer and try to view them. If the files are corrupted you will not be able to save them. Try formatting the memory card, if the error persists you should contact your service representative.

Error 20: Mechanical malfunction

Error in the shutter mechanism, most likely there is some kind of blockage, error or disturbance that is preventing the shutter mechanism from working properly. In this case we know that it is not an electronic problem.

Error 30: Shutter malfunction

Unlike Error 20, this one points to some kind of problem with the shutter ... But in this case it could be a mechanical problem, or some kind of electronic communication error.

Error 40: Malfunction of the power supply unit

This error indicates that there is an internal error in obtaining power. It is probably due to a bad battery, or one that is incorrectly charged. Try reinserting the battery and check that it makes good contact.

Error 50: Electronic control malfunction

This error is indicating to the user that there is an electronic error. However, it does not indicate where the error is.

Error 70: Image malfunction

It may be a memory card write error, or an image capture error. It could be a simple memory card error, or it could be another problem. But first it is advisable to rule out the first case.

Error 80: Error in the electronic control or malfunction of the image.

This is an electronic error, which may be related to image capture or some other undetermined event.

Solution: the quick solution to correct Canon EOS error codes 10/20/30/40/50/70/80 is to turn the camera off, remove the battery from the camera, wait 15-20 seconds and then reinstall the battery. Turn the camera back on and check.

Error 99: non-specific error code

In cameras prior to 2007, this bug generated a lot of misinformation among users. It was a non-specific error. It popped up just like the Check Engine light in cars. It simply meant that something was wrong.
