Canon 5D Mark III doesn't recognize card 1

4 years 1 month ago #676905 by Kayce
Well this isn't how I expected to start off my Friday.   My 5D Mark III is giving me an error saying it doesn't recognize Card1.  I formatted the card, and still no difference.  I have even tried other memory cards, and I get the same error.  

Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

Maybe try to spot a misconfiguration in the menu
for card slot designation?

Light is free… capturing it is not!

Maybe its time for a Canon USA repair dept visit? 

Why so serious?

Dear,
My name is Reinaldo, I live in the city of São Paulo, Brazil.
Last year I had the same problem with my Canon EOS 5d Mark III.
The machine was taken to Canon's own technical assistance about 5 times and, each return, it returned with a different defect.
The last time I was on duty, I was informed that the camera's main circuit had been changed.
However, after that, I don't have 100% stability in it when reading CF cards.
There are cards that she formats and reads normally and there are cards that she doesn't.
Of the cards that have defects, I ended up putting them in another equipment that I have, a Canon 7D.
Of the four cards that were in this situation, two of them 7D did not recognize and the other two were read normally.
With this whole story, I wondered if the initial defect was not the machine and only yes and only CF cards.
I still have that doubt.
