Troubleshooting Guide
No images can be shot or recorded.
Make sure the card is properly inserted (p.36).
Slide the card's write-protect switch to the write/erase position (p.36).
If the card is full, replace the card or delete unnecessary images to
make space (p.36, 230).
If you try to focus in the One-Shot AF mode and the focus indicator
<o> in the viewfinder blinks, a picture cannot be taken. Press the
shutter button halfway again to refocus automatically, or focus
manually (p.47, 101).
The card cannot be used.
If a card error message is displayed, see page 38 or 298.
The image is out of focus.
Set the lens's focus mode switch to <AF> (p.44).
Press the shutter button gently to prevent camera shake (p.46-47).
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.108), set a higher ISO speed (p.92), use flash (p.104), or use
a tripod.
I cannot lock the focus and recompose the shot.
Set the AF operation to One-Shot AF. Focus lock is not possible in the
AI Servo AF mode, or when servo takes effect in AI Focus AF mode
(p.97).
