Troubleshooting
Camera does not power on
Ensure the battery is fully charged and correctly inserted. Check the battery compartment cover is securely closed. Try a different battery if available.
Autofocus is slow or inaccurate
Ensure the AF mode is set appropriately for the subject (e.g., AI Servo for moving subjects). Clean the AF sensors and the lens contacts. Check if the lens is compatible and securely attached.
Images are blurry
Verify that the correct focus mode is selected. Ensure the shutter speed is fast enough to prevent motion blur. Check the lens for dust or smudges and clean if necessary.
Playback error on memory card
Reformat the memory card in the camera (note: this erases all data). Try a different, compatible memory card. Ensure the card is properly inserted.
Live View AF is not working
Ensure the camera is in Live View mode and that Dual Pixel CMOS AF is enabled in the camera's menu. Check that the lens is compatible with Dual Pixel AF.
