to new answers Is this a good question? Yes No Voted Undo Score 0 Cancel Comments: Jack, what have you tried so far? 03/16/2012 by oldturkey03 Thanks for the suggestions and the link to Richards Notes. Its def a hard failure tho. W/o card, lens and w/full battery it gives err 99. The shutter fires when the battery is inserted, and when the switch is moved every other position, off, on, canon eos 1000d error 99 repair or arrow. The shutter button itself is non-functional. Lifting the mirror and inspecting the shutter as suggested in Richards notes did not turn up anything. Gotta be the elect. card inside. I'll just get a new camera and sell this one. For $99!

This error is used for a lot of Canon DSLR errors, so it is hard to pinoint quickly. This could be the battery, memory card or a shutter failure. First, try a new CF card, and then run it without that one. If it doesn't crap out, it was the card. The next thing to try is the battery. Replace the battery and try again. Now, before we consider the camera dead try cleaning the lens contacts, or using a different lens as a last resort to the problem. If cleaning the contacts and replacing the lens does not work, the shutter went bad. Sadly, this isn't an easy fix for most people so you will likely have to

ERR99: The dread of every photographer! No error on any camera is as dreaded as Error 99. If you shoot Canon and haven't seen it yet, you will. Canons certainly aren't any more prone to errors than any other camera brand, but they are a bit notorious for the infamous Error 99. Learn how to fix it now so when it happens, you aren't stuck shooting a wedding without a working camera! In short, ERR99 on your Canon camera is simply a general error. What error, you ask? That is the difficulty with troubleshooting the famous ERR99. Since it is a general error, it gives you nothing to begin with. But have no fear, I've seen the error enough times that I should be abl
is probably the most boring article I’ve written for LensRentals. (Personally, I like Smashed Front Element the best.) But, I love a good mystery, and I love debunking dSLR “urban legends”. Every so often I run across an online forum where someone makes https://www.lensrentals.com/blog/2008/12/canons-error-99-the-man-the-myth/ broad statements about Error 99 which I know are incorrect or at least incomplete. As is my practice, I’ve boldly charged into these online gunfights devoid of intellectual ammunition (i.e. facts). And predictably, the intellectual level of the discussions https://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20100816121802AAYyl6p quickly spirals down from “Is not”, “Is so” into the traditional online-forum sign-offs of “You get Err99 because you’re a bad photographer” and “if you’ve never gotten Err99 you’re obviously not taking many pictures”. Because Canon Corporate apparently believes canon eos that releasing no information about a problem makes it go away, there is little factual information to debunk the online myths regarding Err99 unless you really do a lot of digging. Googling Err99, Canon EOS error codes, etc. brings up several dozen pages of links most of which are the above mentioned “discussions”. There are a few nuggets of truth out there, though. The most complete of these is a multi-year 2,300 post discussion of Err99 problems at Richard’s canon eos 20d Notes. There are also a few thoughtful and factual discussions that have taken place in some of the better forums online. After spending far more hours than I intended looking through these sources to settle an online debate, I thought I’d write a summary of what I found and what we’ve experienced here— LensRentals has over 700 Canon lenses and over 50 Canon bodies (as of December 2008), so we have a bit of Err99 experience. The Myths Some of the most common Err99 myths are listed below. Strictly speaking, they are not myths; almost every one is true. The myth part comes from thinking that any one of them is actually the cause of Err99. So: Err99 results from an electronic communication problem between the lens and the camera. Err99 results from using third-party (i.e. Sigma, Tamron, Tokina) lenses. Err99 means that electronic circuitry in the lens has failed. Err99 means that electronic circuitry in the camera has failed. Err99 results from using third party batteries. Err99 is a firmware issue, and can be fixed by upgrading to the latest firmware. Err99 started with Canon XT and 20D cameras. There are a lot more. Almost all of them are true for at least some cases of Err99. The best myth, though, is that Canon purposely created error 99 to prevent the use of third party lenses. As best I can tell, that one i

Last night I got the error and the camera was unusable, and the screen displayed only the top fourth of anything (menu, review, anything) which was kind of disturbing. I thoroughly cleaned the mirror, the lens contacts, and just about everything else with non alcoholic lens cleaner, and it is working okay now. My question is, is this something I shouldn't worry about? I have a 60 return policy from my seller, and have not yet had it for 60 days. Should I return it and try my luck with another one (which would be a hassle) or let it go and hope it doesn't happen again...?
