Fault guide

Typical symptoms

  • Black live view on startup while the LCD menus, exposure settings, battery icon, etc. still display normally.
  • First photo after startup is completely black, even though the camera otherwise appears to be operating.
  • Camera starts working after taking one or more shots, with live view suddenly returning.
  • Intermittent operation, where restarting the camera or removing/reinserting the battery temporarily fixes the problem.
  • Random black photos during normal shooting, not just immediately after startup.
  • Autofocus becomes unreliable, slow, hunts excessively, or fails to focus.
  • Focus position behaves incorrectly, including Snap Focus or manual-focus functions becoming inconsistent.
  • Lens extension/retraction becomes erratic, such as stopping halfway, retracting unexpectedly, or repeatedly trying to move.
  • Camera powers itself off shortly after startup, sometimes leaving the lens extended.
  • Eventually the failure becomes permanent, with continuous black live view, black images, non-working focus/shutter functions, or a stuck lens.
