Canon 6 d light leak problem?

Anyone has any idea what this is all about?

https://www.Facebook.com/photo.php?v=10153703965930366

Here is a timelapse I did today with my 6 d but obviously something is not majorly. Should I send it to Canon? Someone at - it a similar problem?

Normally, whenever your eye does not cover the viewfinder, you would cover the viewfinder to prevent light leaks through the pentaprism.  Canon usually provides a small rubber plug that you attach to the Canon neck strap.  Remove you the eyecup and slide the CAP in its place (press the sides where the eyecup has rubber grip ridges and drag upwards - some of my organs, you don't have to press, he'll just slide up - but I don't own a 6 d).

But I was reading the comments on your post facebook - if I understand, you said the following:

  • you get the problem with three different lenses - probably isn't a matter of lenses
  • you have tried to completely cover the camera to block all light - it probably not leak in the viewfinder (btw, even if it was a leak through the viewfinder, which is not a default... all SLR cameras can do and that's why they give you the viewfinder cover.)

You also showed a photo of the inside of the camera... you mentioned something about 'Hung', but unfortunately the shot was blurry, I couldn't see what was "hanging down.

I can tell you that this is certainly NOT the shutter.  The camera has a shutter of focal plane with two "curtains" that move vertically.  If a trigger bit you had notice suddenly was unevenly lit being very dark everything at the top or at the bottom of the image ("Curtain" service is experiencing a problem) - but your question is a bright spot about 3/4 of the way on the right side and ends in.

It could be something to "hang" and catch a reflection which at this place.

On the inside of the camera, there is a replaceable glass by the user above the mirror.  When you use the viewfinder, the mirror is in position 'low '.  In this position, the light is bounced upward and on the frosted glass (you can view this as a rear projection screen.  When you look through the viewfinder of the camera, you actually see the frosted glass.

The frosted glass is a framework or a tray that is hinged at the rear.  Normally that hinge never moves (the only time where it would move is when you open it to swap the glass.)  If the bin is not completely closed, it is possible the mirror isn't entirely swing clear (it would hit the status bar that keeps the screen in place.)

Before going further, it's easy to scratch the ground glass and since it is a textured surface (for example, the frosted glass) it is important that you do NOT touch.  Canon actually provides a tiny tool when you buy a replacement screen so that you can open and close the drawer share screens - all of this without ever touching the screen (it looks like a pair of tweezers with a hook on the end).   Canon has replacement with different options screens, and models as well as original replacement screens if you damage your (they cost about $30).

It may be wiser to watch a video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YNwOr3g9gzA

I used this video because it is for a 6 d specifically.  But the process is the same on many other models with CELS replaceable - so if you don't see it enough in detail, just look for other videos on how to share a screen of the development of the Canon.  While the screens are not the same between models, the basic concept of this image that keeps the screen is the same.

BTW... does not by showing how to swap the screen up to 4 minutes into this video, in case you want to fast forward.

I heard of cases where the screen update tray was not completely closed and it makes a bit of a problem.  The good news is that it is a remedy very simple just close the door.  It snaps closed.  The tab in the top-center is the output of the gate.  Normally to open the door you gently pull the tab toward you (you pull it gently) and it releases the tray so that it can swing down.    Once again... Avoid touching the screen with your fingers.  In the absense of the right tool, a Lint of _very_ clean cloth can be used.  Just push the status bar (do not press the screen... just the edge where you see the tab) until you hear a click in.

  • T450s around display light leak

    Hi Lenovo community!

    I just bought Lenovo Thinkpad T450s from their site. He has a problem with the light leaking around the frame of the display, especially the lower part of the frame. I saw a PC Mag review which mentions this same problem. I wonder if there is a problem with other machines of T450s, and if there is a fix for it.

    I'm trying to contact Lenovo support as it is a brand new system, but I would like to know if any other T450s owners experience this problem, or if it can be a general problem with the thinkpads or notebooks from Lenovo in general.

    Thanks in advance for any thoughts on this problem!

  • Light sensor problem

    Hello. First post here. I had problems with my sensor of ambient light in the night - in total darkness, the screen refuses to adapt to its brightness. The Adaptive brightness setting only works when there is a light source or if I reboot my phone. Which is problematic for the cold winter nights when I don't want to leave the blankets. My phone is running Android 5.0.2. Is there a fix?

    Contact the customer service and the Assistant advised me to clear the cache to get rid of all junk from previous installations of Android. Since it is in the middle of the day, after having done that, I lock myself in a closet as a small child and tested the Adaptive brightness. It seems to work so far! And my pitcher is smoother too? I'll be sure to do so before resetting the phone entirely, in the future. Thank you Jenny!

    (Wao, motorcycle customer service iz pretty gud!)

    CLEAR THE CACHE:

    1. with the phone turned off, press the FLIGHT BUTTON down for 2-3 seconds and then release the POWER button.

    2. the unit will display the different BOOT OPTIONS

    3 use the FLIGHT DOWN to SCROLL to the recovery key and the FLIGHT UP key to select

    Tip: If the device restarts, you may have been waiting for a long time to make a selection, you will have to start the process.

    4. the unit will display the Motorola logo and then the Android in distress (with exclamation point logo)

    5. press in and hold the FLIGHT upward for 10 to 15 seconds. While pressing the FLIGHT UP button press and release the POWER button

    Tip: You can try this step, holding the phone in landscape. If you're stuck on step 6, try a forced reboot by pressing the Power button and the key low-flying and start the process again.

    6. the unit will display additional menu options (text will appear in BLUE)

    7 use the FLIGHT DOWN key to scroll through the options to clear the cache partition and the POWER button to select this option

    8. the unit will then perform the wipe partition

    9. the unit will restart and begin the normal diet of the sequences.

  • T61: cover and non-functioning lights switch problem

    My T61 (type 6465) is coming for three years and has recently developed some minor but annoying flaws. The main problem is that the most reliable laptop will remain suspended: closing the lid does not have to be suspended in the first place and if I use Fn + F4 to suspend, it seems that clutching the back edge of the laptop (that you could do to pick it up and put it in a bag) cause him back on the suspension. Accordingly, I found the cell phone on when you remove it from my backpack, even if I was sure that I had hung before storing.

    The other symptoms, is that some of the green lights have stopped working. Namely, the green lights of power, battery, caps lock num and caps lock seem to have stopped running, but wireless, hard drive and activity to suspend lights continues to work. In addition, the orange battery light works very well.

    Other that the system continues to work perfectly: the battery is still good and maintain the load, the power supply charges the battery and powers the system properly. Power management applications show the correct information about the power status of the system (i.e. on current AC or battery-operated).

    I try to work if this is likely to be a hardware failure or a software problem initially. Has anyone seem to similar symptoms, or may suggest that the problem could be based on my description?

    See you soon,.

    -Mark.

    non-functioning lights is most likely a hardware problem.

  • Canon printer this print spooler problem

    I have a printer canon set up a network for the last 12 months without a problem.  Today, when I press print, the document goes to the spooler, but does not print.  Only when I restart the computer will display the items.  All other computers on the network are not performed.  According to the Canon when I called them, they said that I had a problem of print spooler.  The spooler is set to automatic and when I manually restart the spooler prints the item.  The printer driver has been reinstalled and I am sure this isn't the printer.  How can I solve this problem, then the element I want to print, print when I press the button? If the computer is connected to the router by cable, this problem does not occur

  • Canon 5 d MKIII - autofocus problem

    :-) It will be only autofocuse in A + and NOT in any position. I ve tried with my 24 - 7mm and my canon 100-400 mm origianl lenses.

    What's wrong?? The camera is new from a 40 d... Did I miss something in the menu? and an upgrade to the latest firmware didn t solve the problem...

    Anyone have a solution?

    Thank you in advance...

    To change, you go to the menu C.Fn2 (2 of the 4 menu with the Orange camera symbol) the go to "Custom controls".  The first is the stock of the shutter. Press, select AF to measure.  I'm surprised that "Clearing all C.Fn ' didn't work, but then I never had to use it yet... .  Please let me know if this solves your problem.

  • With my new Canon's MG7120 software installation problem

    I recently updated my homeoffice with a new Dell XPS running Windows 8.1.

    Bought a new Canon Pixma MG7120 to replace my old Epson printer.

    I tried to install the printer software from the disc that came with the printer.

    Ive been trying to connect wirelessly and my wireless router connects with my printer.

    My problem is when I run the disc.  When I get to the part of the installation, nothing happens.  All I get is a window telling me that "my firewall may try to block the installation of Canon and I should respond accordingly as" Yes, accept,... and no matter what the choice, I give myself to allow Cannon installation.:

    There is a button 'Next' at the bottom right corner and it will highlight when I place my cursur on that.  I clicked and nothing happens.  The installation should take between 5-10 minutes.

    Appreciate any comment or idea about it.

    Thank you

    CSantos

    I'm so disappointed.  I bought a brand new Pixma MG7120 for my grass hobby photograhy.  Finally, my old Epson Stylus photo passed his end of life phase where it is no longer supported.

    I have a new PC with os Windows 8.1.

    I was so excited, winning this new printer.  I followed the instructions to the letter and bam, phase of the Installation stalls.  The screen is just sitting there doing nothing.  I tried again to recharge etc... with the same results.

    I'm not a computer programmer and am really frustrated and angry that I have to go through this bs... and still not get the printer running.

    I went in the Drivers Canon section and set to date.  Still nothing.  I tried downloading online and still nothing.  Always the same stall during the installation phase.  Just can't get past that.

    What is going on?  I spent $250.00 on printers and ink and even impossible to print a letter.

    I have tried wireless and usb and a big '' NOTHING. ''

    I ask the support over the weekend and if I'm still able to print, I'LL RETURN the UNIT AND FIND ANOTHER BRAND THAT WORKS.

  • Retro-lighting/tick problem

    8 gb Fuze, firmware V01.01.15a.

    When the backlight turns off, the audio picks up a fast tick-tick-tick sound.

    I tested it on all the different backlight settings of the timer up to an hour, and when the backlight turns off, the tick returns. If I press a button to pull the rear backlight, the tick goes. I can work around keep it with the parameter 60 min backlight - the light on all the time - but it's playing table with my battery life.

    Firmware fix?

    Thank you.

    Dang!

    I thought it was the failure to upgrade, but it seems to be the (firmware 01.01.15a).

    I did go back to 01.01.11a and which seems to clear up the tick-tick-tick problem... the backlight is turned off now and I'm listening to crystal clear sound at the moment.

  • Latitude 10 st2 light sensor problem

    Hi forum,

    Yesterday, I installed the tool 'Tool Calibration of Rotation for motherboard replacement services' of the dell site.

    I was playing with the STMicroSensorHubTool.exe tool and was stupid enough to run it with "STMicroSensorHubTool.exe/als_cal-clear" and this seems also broke my light sensor.

    Unfortunately, I do not run 'STMicroSensorHubTool.exe /als_cal - get' before making clear, so I have no idea of the initial values.

    Currently, 'get' throw me the following error:

    C:\DELL\Drivers\8W4HP>STMicroSensorHubTool.exe /als_cal - download
    Please wait...
    Disabling device
    Please wait...

    Device allowing to the

    So what I'm asking is someone able to run 'get' on his Tablet and post the contents of the file "als_cal_coeff.txt" here so I can start with something and difficulty mine?

    Thanks in advance!

    Hello

    I forgot to update.

    > theroblog.com

    I think you're probably right, indeed, he spends some test mode the mode of operation of the detection mode, I get as before and managed to return to operational mode with / switches (I remember more accurate), but who did not solved my problem with backlight, but recovered automatic screen rotation which was also ruptured at a point.

    I do not did the thing with deletion/addition of Device Manager devices for the backlight, so perhaps that can fix the backlight for me.

    Fortunately, I was able to restore the functionality of the sensor. After about 2 hours of troubleshooting with DELL technical support, I said do a factory reset, and that solved problem with backlight.

    For the record I do tried to run 'STMicroSensorHubTool.exe /als_cal - get' (with sensor of lighting of work) to have a backup values, but I have the same error as above... There are clearly some bugs with this software package.

    Thank you!

  • DeskJet 5550 cartridge status light flashing problem

    I have a Deskjet 5550. The power led is on and the print cartridge status light is FLASHING. Immediately before that, the prints have a lot of black and color.

    I opened and closed the plate on the cartridges.

    I took on each of the two cartridges and put back them in.

    I have looked for "the yellow arrow and icons", but can not find them.

    I turned the printer on and outside.

    I turned off the computer (Compac Presario CG60 - 206US Notebook PC) and rebooted.

    Help! Please, I beg you! Thank you!!!

    Hi mmdb1,

    I understand that the cartridges are not cheap, but to help isolate the problem, try another set of cartridges. If you install a new set and the problem is resolved, you can then contact our technical support line for the replaced defective cartridges.

  • Canon MXF files and Audio problems

    I recently bought a Canon XF-300 camcorder to use my CS5 Premiere Pro system.

    I guess that the XF-300 would create a huge video file until I turned off the machine.

    Instead, he represents several in MXF 2 GB files and every time I have to start/stop the camcorder a new video file is created.

    And what makes it worse, is that it puts each MXF file in a folder.

    When I turn a long clip there are problems with editing several clip 2 GB as opposed to a clip of 13 GB that I used to get with tape.

    I use the XF utility to only transfer the video files from my CF card on my hard drive.

    Then I perfer to use Pr to concatinate MXF separate files into a single file MP2 wasting a lot of time.

    Is there something I could do with the camcorder of the XF utility to join a large file?

    Also when I put a MXF file a sequence Pr stero audio track that I'm used from a band splits into 2 separate tracks.

    One seems to be mono left and the other right mono.

    When I combine them into an MP2 file, I get a mono soundtrack.

    How do I get stero sound track?

    Francis,

    The manual I have:

    Merge all Clips = merges the flow MXF files in each clip and also merges multiple files selected in a single file.

    Merger of each Clip = merges the flow MXF files in each clip but retains several selected files in a different way.

    With regard to the problem of audio:

    In Premiere Pro CS6, you can set the Audio tracks by default for your stereo import instead of double mono/multi-channel mono media files. I don't know if it was an option in CS5, but I think that it is not.

    In CS6 you do the following:

    1. edit > Preferences > Audio ("' Premiere Pro > Preferences > Audio" Mac ")

    2 under default Audio tracks, change multi-channel Mono Media 'Use the file' in 'Stereo '.

    3 click OK.

    Note that this will not affect already imported clips. This setting affects preferably clip when you import.
