- Hot shoe misfires with strobes — contact oxidation or cracked joints.
EOS DSLRs — Error Codes Quick Hints
| Code | Meaning | First Aid |
|---|---|---|
| Err 20 | Mechanical fault | Power cycle; remove battery/lens; service mirror/shutter if 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-1Ds Mark III
- Use fast UDMA CF cards; avoid microSD adapters.
- Keep hot shoe and battery contacts clean to prevent misfires and dropouts.
- Replace door gaskets periodically to maintain weather sealing.
- Store LP-E4 partly charged; run full cycles occasionally for calibration.
- Update firmware and verify AF microadjustment with main lenses.
FAQ – Canon EOS-1Ds 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 portraits/studio work.
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 after repair.
4. Top LCD segments missing or leaking.
We replace the status LCD and reseal the top cover to keep weather protection intact.
5. CF 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.
