Canon 1100D, 5157B002, 5161B039 manual 243

Troubleshooting Guide

If you use Live View shooting or shoot movies for a prolonged period (p.121, 139), the number of possible shots will decrease.

If you hold down the shutter button for a long time or often use only the AF without taking pictures, the number of possible shots will decrease. If you often use the LCD monitor, the number of possible shots will decrease.

If you use the lens Image Stabilizer, the number of possible shots will decrease.

The camera turns off by itself.

Auto power off is in effect. If you do not want auto power off to take effect, set [5Auto power off] to [Off] (p.155).

Even if [5Auto power off] has been set to [Off], the LCD monitor will still turn off after the camera is idle for 30 min. Press the <B> button to turn on the LCD monitor.

Shooting-Related Problems

No images can be shot nor recorded.

The card is not properly inserted (p.28).

If the card is full, replace the card or delete unnecessary images to make room (p.28, 196).

If you try to focus in the One-Shot AF mode while the focus confirmation light <o> in the viewfinder blinks, a picture cannot be taken. Press the shutter button halfway again to focus, or focus manually (p.39, 85).

Slide the card’s write-protect switch to the Write/Erase setting (p.28).

The card cannot be used.

If a card error message is displayed, see page 30 or 250.
