robert_davis7 Posted May 20, 2005 Share Posted May 20, 2005 I just upgraded to a 20D from a 10D today, so I know most of theoperations. But the camera behaves strangely and I can't find anymention of this in the manual. * When I turn the dial to AV, the main dial controls the SHUTTERSPEED, but it doesn't stay set. The aperture value jumps around. * The green mode (full auto) actually allows me to set the aperturebut not the shutter. * Manual mode does not allow me to change any settings (using both thequick control dial and the main dial) I just downloaded and successfully install firmware v. 2 and it stilldoes this. Is the camera screwed up? I've never seen anything like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robert_davis7 Posted May 20, 2005 Author Share Posted May 20, 2005 BTW, I removed all custom settings and I'm using a Canon lens. It's almost like the modes on the command dial are not correct -- Green is program (because it's shiftable), M is program, AV is TV and ... *sigh* THis is odd.

gary_goodman Posted May 20, 2005 Share Posted May 20, 2005 Sounds like a manufacture error to me. Maybe the installed the dial incorrectly so the modes are off by one. I would return and get replacement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil vaughan - yorkshire u Posted May 22, 2005 Share Posted May 22, 2005 Take all the batteries out and leave them out for 5 minutes. Then try again. I'm sure I've read other people have had this problem but it fixed itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jespdj Posted May 23, 2005 Share Posted May 23, 2005 Read the manual carefully. Check if you don't have the "safety shift" function switched on (one of the custom functions). There's probably nothing wrong with your camera, you just don't know well enough how it works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robert_davis7 Posted May 23, 2005 Author Share Posted May 23, 2005 Jesper -- As I said, I deactivated all of the custom fuctions. I think there is something wrong with the camera because when I take a picture with the command dial on Av and then look at the Info on the camera, it reads Tv. It will read Tv regardless of which mode I am in, and it will operate as a shutter-priority camera only. No, this one's a lemon and I'm going to send it back to Canon. I wonder if they'll give me an EOS 1D MKII as an apology? :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clauder Posted May 26, 2005 Share Posted May 26, 2005 I guess the dial is wrongly mounted (as you set it to Av and it says Tv... give it back, get a new one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
