Error 50 on a Canon 7D

7 years 1 week ago #520923 by Bill Murphy
My 7D is acting up in auto mode when using a flash.  It's alright in manual mode, just in auto.  That's when it's giving me this Error 50.  What is that about?

Canon says Err 50 is "A malfunction related to the electric control" and suggests turning off your camera, removing and reinstalling the camera battery, and then powering up the camera body once more.

Maybe, Canon monitors this forum, and when people post issues, they suddenly disappear...

:dry:


...hang on, there's a knock at the door...
