Description

Solution

If a problem occurs with the camera, an error message is displayed.

If your camera displays an error screen like the one shown above, follow the displayed instructions to resolve the problem.

To recover from the error, turn the power switch < OFF > and < ON >, or remove and reinstall the battery.

If error 02 (memory card problem) is displayed, remove and reinstall the memory card or format the card. This may resolve the problem.

Note:

Formatting the card will erase everything in the card. Even protected images will be erased, so make sure there is nothing you need to keep. If necessary, transfer the images to a personal computer before formatting the card.

Please refer to the related information on formatting the card.

If the error code appears repeatedly, your camera may have a problem. In such cases, please write down the error code and consult a Canon Service Center.

Note:

If an error code appears right after shooting, the picture might not have been captured. After the error is resolved, press the < > (Playback) button and check if the picture was captured.
