Canon Eos 60D Troubleshooting Tutorial

Troubleshooting Canon EOS 60D: A Comprehensive Guide

The Canon EOS 60D is a powerful and feature-rich DSLR camera, but like any electronic device, it can be prone to issues. In this article, we’ll walk you through some common problems and their solutions, so you can get back to taking amazing photos.

Canon EOS 60D Troubleshooting

Camera Won’t Turn On

One of the most frustrating issues you can encounter is when your camera won’t turn on. Before you start panicking, try these simple steps:

Dead Battery: Remove the battery from the camera and plug it into the wall charger. A light will turn on when the battery starts charging. Wait until the battery is 100% charged, which is indicated by a green light, to remove.

Defective Battery: After charging the battery to 100%, if it turns on but dies soon after, then it’s a sign of a drained battery. Replace the weary battery with a new one.

Malfunctioning Charger: If the battery is plugged into the charger and there is an orange light blinking rapidly, check the battery placement in the charger. If the battery is seated correctly in the charger yet it still blinks orange rapidly, you may need to replace the battery charger.

Pop-Up Flash Won’t Lift

When you press the caption button with the flash selection on, the flash won’t activate and remains stuck down. Here are some possible solutions:

Obstruction: Check the pop-up flash rail for any form of obstruction that could be blocking the flash. If any object is found, clear it out and try popping up the flash again.

Broken Flash Spring: If no obstruction is found on the flash rail, the release spring may be broken. This will require repair or replacement of the spring assembly.

Receive an Error 20 Message

When using the camera, it’s unable to capture photos and an error 20 message shows up on the screen. Here’s what you can do:

Front Lens Stuck: Remove the front lens cover and check for a blocked or obstructed shutter. If obstruction is found, remove it so that the shutter can operate properly.

Offset Mirror: After the front lens is removed, check to make sure if the mirror inside the camera is in the correct placement. If the mirror turns out to be offset, correct its placement by making sure no debris is stuck in the camera.

Rubber Grips Are Falling Off

After constant use of the camera, the rubber grips wear and begin to come off. Here’s what you can do:

Bad Adhesive: If the rubber grips on the camera begin to fall off, add new adhesive to the back of the grips to make sure it has proper adhesion.

Auto-Focus Won’t Work

When taking a photo, the auto-focus feature doesn’t seem to work properly. Here are some possible solutions:

Poor Connection: When using Auto Focus and the lens does not respond, check the device connections. Remove the front lens to observe the gold pins on the bottom. Clean the pins for an accurate connection.
