ERR 99 canon 10D

jcorney · 16th January 2005, 9:03 PM

just feel like having a bitch, went to do a track day today and only got 200 shots off, camera kept 99-ing. now its doing it every shot with all 3 of my lenses and its got to be sent back to melbourne most likely to get fixed.

<end sook>

I want a 1Dmk2

jcorney · 17th January 2005, 11:35 AM

yeah I'm replying to my own thread

camera has to be sent to melbourne (from tassie) for them to look at

and they are quoting 3 to 4 weeks which I am really not happy about, I don't have any work booked between now and then but need it back right on the 4 week mark to go OS with.

time to wonder how hard it is to get membership of CPS

<end rant 2>

Canon Professional Services.

Its probably easier if you do own a 1D MkII

fuzzyimages · 17th January 2005, 12:05 PM

what was wrong with it?? did they say??

BenZor · 17th January 2005, 12:06 PM

I've got an E99 a few times on a mates camera.

What is the error?

sniper_cs · 17th January 2005, 12:09 PM

Error 99 is a lens error, usually meaning a faulty lens, or a faulty connection from the camera body to the lens. Try cleaning the gold contacts on all lenses and on the camera body if you experience it again.

3 lenses, 2 of them L series, and all pretty new. I have cleaned the contacts and made sure they are all pretty happy looking. and its 100% error rate now. still I have managed to get the offer of a 20D for the trip if I require it but would prefer to take my own gear so will see what happens

sniper_cs · 17th January 2005, 3:37 PM

Fair enough. I've had some pretty random Error 99's on various lenses, and the contacts have indeed been clean. Let us know how it goes.

Error 99 is a bit of a miscellaneous error message and covers a number of different errors. It can be lens contacts as suggested but can also be shutter related (amongst other things).

How old is the 10D and how many actuations?? Is it still under warranty?

The application form is on the internet Click Here

You need to be a fulltime photographer, and you need to own at least two pro bodies and at least three pro lenses

As a777 says, Err99 is a default error if the camera can't determine exactly what the error is. Its a generic state the camera enters for an unspecified error. It could be a lens/contact problem or any other non-determined error.

15 months, around 10k actuations and no (came from hongkong anyway)

Are u using Ver. 2.0.1 firmware?, available from here http://www.canon.co.jp/Imaging/BeBit-e.html specifically http://www.canon.co.jp/Imaging/EOS10...irmware-e.html
Yes try cleaning the lens contacts, also reformat the CF card if not done so. I cant think what else it would be the cause of the errors.
