p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · 7D resetting



On my last shoot, my 7D kept resetting some of the settings (ISO to A, White Balance to AWB and Image Quality to Fine L JPG). The time is kept correctly and there my be other settings that have changed that aren't as obvious that are changing. Anyone run into this? I found nothing searching this forum, so I assume its not a common thing.

Thanks!

Is it possible that the mode dial has been moved to one of the custom settings? It sometimes happens to me when the camera rubs up against something. You may make some changes, but as soon as the camera sleeps, it will reset to whatever the settings for that custom setting may be.

Thanks David,

That may have been the case the first time, as I am one that enjoys the benefits that the lock on that dial on my 5D III, but since then, it doesn't matter what mode I'm in, which is usually Av or M.

Thoughts anyone else?

I haven't seen it on my 7D or any other Canon camera I've owned.

I wonder if the memory battery is flat? But it would lose the time then.

There was a firmware issue that caused all AF Microadjust values to be reset to +8, I wonder if it's a firmware bug
- are you running the latest firmware?

Another idea: remove all batteries from the camera (mem bat and main battery), and leave it unpowered for a while. This might 'reset' the camera

No , what David means is are the settings its resetting to the ones in your C settings ?
If you have the camera set to a C point on the dial then if you change them and the camera goes to sleep then when you wake it up the settings reset back to your original ones .
