Shooting-Related Problems

The lens cannot be attached.

The camera cannot be used with EF-S lenses (p.39).

The card cannot be used.

If a card error message is displayed, see page 38 or 256.

No images can be shot or recorded.

The card is not properly inserted (p.36).

If you are using an SD card, set the write-protect switch upward (p.36). If the card is full, replace the card or delete unnecessary images to make room (p.36, 179).

If you try to focus in 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.41, 95, 100).

The image is out of focus.

Set the lens focus mode switch to <AF> (p.39).

To prevent camera shake, hold the camera still and press the shutter button gently (p.40, 41).

If the lens has an Image Stabilizer, set the IS switch to <1>.
