eos d30 >> AF no more working

[moana_julien]

Hi,

 

I had suddenly an amazing problem.

An aperture of "00" appears on the LCD panel. No more focusing

possibility in AF neither in MF mode.

I've tried with different lenses, removed the batteries and the

problem remains.

On the LCD panel, MF remains even in AF mode.

 

Can someone help me?

Thanks.

Remove the lens, clean the contacts on the lens and the body, replace the backup battery

(the little one that you get to by unscrewing the small circular opening on the bottom - NOT

the main one), switch the lens AF / MF switch sharply a few times, then try it again.

any gunk or corrosion where the lens to body contacts are? Don't use anything abrasive to clean, ignore any suggestion to use an eraser. If it does look gunked up, you can use kimwipes and a residue-less contact cleaner. Any chance the lens mount got seriously torqued on?

 

If the contacts look good, and you've pulled all the batteries let the camera sit a few minutes, and re-installed them, then it's time to send it off to Canon.

Use an eraser.

[jmf]

Those contacts for all practical purposes do not oxidize (which is why they go though the expense of plating them with gold) and so there's absolutley no reason to ever use an abrasive. Whats more, the plating is incredibly thin, highly polished and if you scratch through you WILL have oxidation problems, and whats worse, eraser bits floating around in an area you absolutly don't want foreign matter in.

 

Back to the OP: Assuming you tried the battery tricks, your camera is broken and you need to send it to service.

Thanks for all your tips...

I've tried everything you advice, but with no success.

I think I have to take it back to Canon.

I really wonder what happened.

Thanks again all of you !
