Canon 6D fails miserably on a photo shoot | |
I was asked to take some shots of a community event that happened this morning where I live.
I brought my 1DsII, 1DIII and my 6D with me, which was a good thing, because the 6D gave me nothing but grief today.
I\'d take a shot with the 6D, hear a horrible noise, and then the cam would either fail to take the shot and display an ERR message suggesting a miscommunication with the lens, or it would take the shot, and not take any others until I powered off and back on again.
If the cam took the shot, immediately afterwards, the viewfinder would go half dark. Removing the battery would return the viewfinder to a clear image.
I\'m not sure what\'s really going on, but this camera is going back to Canon after I can make it reproduce the results I got.
After getting home, the camera appears to be working ok again and I can\'t get it to duplicate the problem.
It\'s frustrating, but at least I have backup cameras I can use and trust, while this problem gets sorted out.
I\'ll post back in this thread after I\'ve reviewed the shots on my computer.
