Why do canon cameras say busy

Click this to open the manual I used. Reason: make link obvious. Most seems to suggest the camera will display this and won't take a picture while either the flash is charging or during a long exposure.

You have mentioned using flash so that sounds normal and you have said you're getting blurred I'm going to guess motion blur due to long shutter speeds images so that also sounds normal. Best advice - pour yourself a nice glass of your favourite beverage, find a comfy chair and work your way through the instruction manual with your camera to hand trying the various options as they are described.

Sergio M. He Sergio, check to be sure the lens is properly seated and attached. Also check to see if you didn't accidentally move the switch on the lens to manual focus from automatic. I'm not sure if this would cause the kind of problem you're describing, but it's worth a look. Hope you figure it out soon. First: Are you switching off the camera when you change the lens? If not, I believe you should be else the electronics can get confused. Have you tried switching it off, taking out the battery for 5 mins, then trying again?

Second: That said, perhaps take the battery out and charge it up fully - these things usually do not ship with a fully charged battery, so you should have left it charging before even starting using - did you do that? Comments on bad battery life are rather pre-emptive if not. Using a DSLR is more complex than something like an SX50, especially if you only used the SX50 on scene modes - another point is that scene modes on the T6i will not do as much as they did on the SX50 - e.

Third: We have absolutely no idea what you have the camera pointing at, so either you've manually set a very slow shutter possibly without realising it or the scene is dark and, combined with other settings, is resulting in this behaviour. It is possible that some scene mode you have set is causing this.

Fire the shutter and take a picture of it Did the shutter behave normally Did it clickety-clunk and did you get a very brief flash of busy light? Can you see anything on LCD in playback mode? If so, and I expect it will, there's likely nothing wrong with your camera. Let us know what happened.

I have had my share of operator error problems since my philosophy once was "When all else fails - read the manual " Since I slowly graduated from one Canon camera to another, that was a viable strategy I used a 10D, 30D, 40D and 7D These cameras were virtually so similar that I could use each successive model without many problems.

I just tried all this with my EX and 80D. Thanks, BAK. I can live with that. Rather spend money on lenses first. The error shows even without the SD card. The problem is with the camera itself. Thank you guys for the suggestions. I will look into that. F Forum M My threads. You may also like. Have your say: Best camera of Latest sample galleries. Tamron mm F2. Panasonic S 35mm F1.
