Typical EOS-1D Mark III Issues We Fix
- Intermittent AF tracking or front/back focus — AF unit service and calibration.
- Err 99 / random lockups — shutter path, flex, or board-level faults.
- Top LCD bleed or missing segments — module replacement.
- Bent CF pins / SD errors — slot rebuild and controller check.
- Hot shoe misfires with speedlights — contact oxidation or cracked solder joints.
EOS DSLRs — Error Codes Quick Hints
Code |
Meaning |
First Aid |
Err 20 |
Mechanical fault |
Power cycle; remove battery/lens; service mirror/shutter if it repeats. |
Err 30 |
Shutter problem |
Fresh LP-E4; inspect blades; likely shutter replacement. |
Err 40 |
Power/electrical |
Check contacts; avoid hot-plug; board diagnostics. |
Err 70 |
Data/processing |
Reset; new card; firmware/board rework if persistent. |
Err 80/99 |
Image/general fault |
Stop use; full diagnostics to isolate shutter/sensor/firmware path. |
Pro Tips for EOS-1D Mark III
- Use quality UDMA CF cards or SDHC; avoid microSD adapters.
- Keep hot shoe and battery contacts clean to prevent misfires and dropouts.
- Replace worn door gaskets periodically to maintain weather sealing.
- Store LP-E4 partly charged; calibrate packs with full cycles occasionally.
- Update firmware and check AF microadjustment with your main lenses.
FAQ – Canon EOS-1D Mark III Repair
1. Camera won’t power on or dies under load.
We test LP-E4 health, charger comms, fuses, and DC-DC rails, then rework or replace the affected circuit.
2. AF is inconsistent with fast action.
We clean the AF unit, check sub-mirror geometry, update firmware, and perform AF calibration with a reference lens.
3. Err 99 appears intermittently.
We isolate shutter/mirror flex and main board paths, reseat or replace failing components, and stress-test at 10 fps.
4. Top LCD segments missing or leaking.
We replace the status LCD and reseal to keep weather protection intact.
5. CF/SD errors or “Card not formatted”.
We rebuild the slot, replace bent pins, verify controller lines, and test with known-good UDMA media.
6. Camera is stuck on the logo.
We perform service-level reflash, verify boot partitions, and check NAND/SD storage integrity.
