Sensor Cleaning Bug in 1D3 Firmware v1.2.3?

[colinsouthern]

Just wondering if any fellow 1D3 users have struck this ...

 

Switched on camera this morning prior to a shoot, and got an "Error 06" (sensor

cleaning unit malfunction). I switched the camera off (and heard either the mirror

drop or shutter close - or both) - switched it back on again - and everything was

back to normal.

 

It's done this twice tday. It's never done it prior to upgrading from 1.1.3 to 1.2.3 -

just wondering if anyone else has struck this?

 

I should clarify that this is the normal power on or power off sensor cleaning, not

the manually initiated one, not the manual sensor cleaning procedure - what's

peaked my interest in particular is the sound of mirror dropping/shutter closing as

if (for some reason) the shutter was already open.

 

Cheers,

Oh no, not another bug in 1d3..try Mortein :)

 

I`d reinstall the FW or go back one and ring canon if it persist..regards

I've been using the new firmware and have turned the camera off and on at least 20 times and shot around 6gig, no problems at all. Might be a faulty download, you should try downloading again, then reinstalling. Just reinstalling may give you the same problem if there is something wrong with the download.

Thanks for the comments. Will have to see what happens.

 

Re-installing would be a waste of time - the chances of a dud download co-incidentally passing the CRC check are practically non-existant.

 

If it is a bug I'd expect others to see it - if they don't then it's probably a camera fault.

 

Cheers,

FWIW: no such issue on thwo 1D3 bodies. Let us know how it develops.
