The camera turns on with a bit of a tremble, but the shutter locks; the anti-shake bars flash in the view finder. I tried cleaning the CCD, but this did not work.
I have an 5D with the same problem, It looks like the Anti shake does not initialize properly, The only bypass I found that worked (except for a real repair) is to set the display light timeout for 5 seconds, The standby timout for 1 minute, Turn the camera off, and on again, Wait for 5 sec then the display goes blank, wait for 1 minute then the camera goes in standby, (light from CF card flashed red 1 time) Then touch any button to re-activate the camera and... voila... everything works, including taking normal pictures and the anti-shake !!! So it only takes a minute everytime to startup..
Hi Friesland_bo,
you are the man.... i ve tried all other solutions and only one that worked is yours..... there are many people with the maxxum 5D stuck with the same kind of error. but this solution really works... i didnt think it would.
