Canon’s Err99: the Man, the Myth
Roger Cicala, owner of LensRentals.com has written a great article on the error99 code that Canon DSLRs will exhibit when they hang for any number of reasons.
Roger went through much of the endless comments in our post: Canon DSLR Error 99 fix and has done a great job of not only extracting the nuggets of useful information but also combining them with the technical facts as he knows them. What makes his take on this meaningful is that he runs a successful rental company and rents the very camera bodies and lenses that are involved in this, so he gets both user reports on his own gear and he’s in direct contact with Canon tech support.
I’m delighted to say that his take on all of this is pretty much mine but it’s a lot easier to go through his post than the comment thread at this site so those of you who are facing this error code or wondering what to do if it pops up should read his post.
Actually, all Canon users should read his post and bookmark it for future reference.
