This will work on the XTi and perhaps on similar Canon cameras: The pop-up flash has two legs. Look at the pivot point of the right leg (”right” when looking into the lens). Just in front of the pivot is a very small spring-load pin on the “roof” of the camera body. This pin is the sensor that tells the camera the state of the flash. The pin is pushed down when the pop-up flash is closed and is suppose to quickly spring up when the flash is opened. Problem is, the pin sometimes gets dirty and drags. When it is slow to spring up … you get the err05 message. Fix: Take a small jeweler’s screwdriver and dip the tip in isopropyl alcohol. (Don’t use any other solvent unless it’s designed for cleaning electronic parts!) Then touch the screwdriver tip to the pin.

Started Nov 24, 2008 | Discussions Shop cameras & lenses ▾ Forum Threaded view Greenmind • Regular Member • Posts: 267 fixing Canon XTi flash issue? Nov 24, 2008 I have a 2 year old Rebel XTi that I've spent a lot of time running around with. I'm planning to upgrade to a D50 in the next few weeks and would like to sell the XTi to a friend or maybe give it to my brother. The flash currently sticks (won't pop up all the time) at times which is really annoying and there are some specs on the sensor I've never been able to get off.The local camera shop said they can clean the sensor but I'd have to mail it in to Canon to fix the flash. Any clue on how I could do this myself? Reply to thread Reply with quote Complain Roonal • Senior Member • Posts: 2,505 Re: fixing Canon XTi flash issue?

It gets pressed down when an external flash is slid into the hot shoe, and causes the pop-up flash to be dis-abled.If it is stuck or intermittently sticking in the down position, then that could cause the pop-up flash not to pop-up when you press the flash button.Here's a picture I took awhile back of the plunger on my 300D, on my 400D the plunger is black instead of white-- hide signature -- Good Day, Roonal'Money doesn't buy happiness, but it makes for an extravagant depression' by golf tournament sportscaster Reply Reply with quote Complain Greenmind OP • Regular Member • Posts: 267 Re: fixing Canon XTi flash issue? In reply to Roonal • Nov 24, 2008 I'll take a look at that when I get home from work.What happens is when I try to take a photo in any of the "auto" modes and the camera wants to fire the flash it makes a clicking noise a couple times. Then the LCD tells me there's been a flash error. At that point I have to reset the camera and manually pull the flash up with my fingers. It'll come easily and work fine afterwards but it's really annoying and not something I'm comfortable selling or
