If the problem still happens after multiple resets contact the place you bought the camera from and see if you can get a replacement. If the camera is still under warranty canon will try and repair your camera and won't replace unless it is unable to be fixed.

You can use Canon EF lenses. Be careful not to use EF-S lenses, as they cast a smaller image circle for cropped-sensor cameras, not big enough for full-frame cameras.There are other third-party manufacturers that make lenses with Canon EF mounts, such as Sigma and Tamron. Each manufacturer has their own designation for cropped-sensor lenses, so you'll have to check the specifications for each of them.

Hi if you also see the vertical line from computer, then your camera has defective ccd unit or main image control pcb defective. Most of case ccd problem are common and main. your local repair shop would charge around $45 to 135 depend on what they want to charge. Thanks and best regard!

I've encountered this problem with a 5D Mark II and the problem was the card. Our card was a 16GB Sandisk Extreme that was just as new as the camera. Make sure your camera's firmware is up to date. If your card is high in GB your camera will have a hard time poring with it if the firmware is old. But as we figured out, our card was bad, plain and simple.

Hi

Error code 20 on a Canon EOS 5D Mark II indicates there is a hardware problem with either the mirror or the shutter. The only solution is to have it repaired - or if the camera is reasonably new take it back to your supplier and get your money back.

Hope this helps

Try operate the camera without lens, if the camera works without lens, then you change the lens, camera is fine.

All DSLR cameras have a self-timer. Check your owner's manual for it's operation.

Try this for your digital camera :
This works on most mini electronic devices like cellular phones and degital cameras etc .

it sounds crazy .

Remove the back (or Cover ) of the phone( or Camera ), battery, and SIM if your phone ( or Device ) uses one , DIRECTLY
.

Then, with a q-tip (or something similar), dab the connection points (shiny, goldish) on the battery, SIM, and phone. This should aid in drying.

Finally, place all contents in a bag of uncooked rice (separately, do not put back together just yet). it sounds crazy , but it draws the moisture out.

It normally is working after just 7-8 hours, but I would wait 12 hours or even 24 hours before attempting to use (just to be sure).

beware the water damage, despite being dry now, will void any warranties. Also, the phone's hardware is now weakened and if you drop it, the green mother board and circuitry could shatter - so be more careful.


This does work on electronic devices aside from phones as well. Simply tailor it to your device. If you do not have a SIM (Verizon phones, cameras, all others), remove only the battery. If you have an iPhone/iPod or GPS and cannot remove the battery, simply make sure it is all the way off, then put it in the rice bag. All electronic devices react the same to the rice trick.

How old is the battery? They will only take a certain number of charge and discharge cycles. When worn out, they will charge, but fail very quickly and always in the middle of use. https://www.walmart.ca/en/ip/2x-Pack-Canon-EOS-Rebel-XS-Battery-Charger-Replacement-for-Canon-LP-E5-Digital-Camera-Battery-and-Charger-1200mAh-7-4V-Lithium-Ion/PRD1R0BZPXKL7K5 https://www.google.com/search?q=canon+eos+rebel+xs+battery ..

Maximum for counter is 999. Counter is showing 999 because you have space available for more than 999 shots. If you've got a very large memory card it may tke quite some time to get below 999.
