  Hi all,

  I’ve recently gotten a dreaded ‘Err CF’ on my Canon 20D :shock:

  I’ve tried a few things, I’ve changed the flash card, still getting the error, changed the lens, still getting the error. Had a look at the pins, they all look straight, none bent or missing, I have another 20D and the flash card works fine in that and the pins look exactly the same as those in the problem 20D. I’m really at a loss, the manual suggests reformatting the card but if the flash card works fine in the other 20D and the spare flash card also gives the same error in the dodgy one, doesn’t this point more to a problem with the camera as opposed to the card? :?

  Anyone any ideas or am I gonna have to leave it in for a costly repair? :x really hate being out of action without my camera, the other 20D is my fiances and we don’t like sharing that much!!! :roll:

  thanks

  It does sound more like a camera issue.

  But, do try formatting the card within the camera, and see if that helps. It may also depend on how old the cards are (or even how new).

  Otherwise, you may just have to leave it in for a service.
