Canon err 01 fix. 3 ways how to fix faulty lens communication Canon Camera

[@janeberrisford8555]

You are a genius ! Just about to send a second hand lens back but this worked and saved me the hassle - eternally grateful

[@jasatotakouzeno4674]

I was losing hope on the first two steps, but your third trick did it! Thanks man, appreciate it :3

[@asraiSOA]

Yeah, same here WTF?!? LOL. Glad this worked.

[@mojocosmetics]

KZbin is great. I get a problem and a gent like you is here to solve it. Took a min and 25 sec. Much appreciated.

[@sondrag2]

if i could jump through a screen and hug you..the TAPE saved me!! MILLION thank you. bought a old vintage SIGMA and felt "buyers regret" this tricked both my canon's and yes I cannot "see" numbered APERTURE ( it says F00) but I USE it on manual/ and A/V and IT SNAPPED the photos!!! you saved me a lot of tears...expensive hobby!!

[@CallMeNovaGirl]

Tha k you very much. Just bought a 70-200mm lens for 1500 and I couldn't take photos in the snow apparently. Using the electrical tape worked. Tysm! ❤

[@boomingsponge]

Thank you so much! Thought I'd have to send my lens away and tried everything possible and tried twisting the lens via the release and it's now working again. You've saved me so much time and money!

[@bunbun8670]

What worked for me was to avoid the narrowest zoom setting on my 11-16mm lens (16mm) - it wasn’t this fix, cleaning the lens contacts, or several other fixes on other KZbin’s - just in case that helps anyone else who hasn’t had success with these tips (which truly HAVE helped a lot of people, so thankyou btw)

[@critshot4694]

omfg I cant tell you how RELIEVED I am for such a simple fix as the tape idea... and kicking myself for how obvious it was and it not even crossing my mind!!! I was soooo upset when a sigma lens I just recently got was not communicating properly with my camera body... Full manual and fully zoomed it was just fine... but in manual and at nearest zoom it wouldn't.... yet in Auto shoot mode fully zoomed it would error, but near zoom it worked perfectly lol I was so confused.... Thank you!!! I shoot manual 100% of the time, but i while i was diagnosing the error i tried every mode.

[@MaryJohnson777]

. . . and Viola'! I was ready to sell my Canon 60D for $20 for parts :( but gave it one more chance to find "some wizard" here on youtube who might have a trick up their sleeve. Bingo!! I followed your steps and it's working again! I used the first option - "Custom functions" tip (not the tape) Thank you so much!!

[@QistinaYusuf]

Wowww!! Tilt my lens a bit and it's working nowww!! Thank youuuu for saving my life!!! 😭😆

[@adarshmnicolson123]

Bro u r genius 😂😂❤ i have tried this 1mm movement and suddenly it started taking pictures woaah❤❤❤

[@A_Haunted_Pancake]

Wiiii, That tape-trick was awesome ! Had already given up on my big zoom, but now it's perfect again. Thanks mate ! Subscribed.

But its not worked auto focus

[@akiadima3814]

Same

[@wilfridololobo]

hey bro thanks for the tip about the electrical tape cause I bought a pre own lens and it's showing that faulty error then I saw your electrical tape now my lens is working just fine thank you much

[@beemarentertainmentltd281]

Eey Dylan you saved me Mate🙆‍♂️ Was stuck and my daughter’s wedding in 3 weeks. Phew😇 I used the 3rd option. Isolated the electrics and boom I’m back in action💃💃💃💃 Thanks a lot Mate. I have subscribed TWICE🙈

[@burlysmith4844]

The electrical tape worked for me tooooooooooooo shewwwwwwwwwwwwwww

[@surjaldas4024]

Same here, in the place of electrical tape I used a very small piece of paper so that electrical chips should not touch each other. Nevertheless, it worked equally well for me. Thank You So Much and Thanks A Lot Jesus for getting me this video! Amen!

[@DD-im1wl]

Which Pins did you tape, im having the same problem.

[@tumwineeddy4749]

I like the tape solution it's so logical

[@naomirivera3834]

But don't you need the contacts on the mount for the camera? I was told the pins and contacts work together to give the aperture, shutter speed, lens model, etc. So why cover the contacts on the adaptor? I'm confused, lol. Thanks for the info in this video, always learning something new!

[@FantajiMyou]

Two things: 1 it’s a lens that wasn’t made for canon- it’s a Helios 44 hence him using an adapter. 2. He’s shooting full manual mode. So it doesn’t need/use the electronic contacts. He’ll adjust those manually. So this is still a solution for switching any lens you use into full manual mode and allowing you to capture images w/out electronic contact. Hope this helps.

[@kymani9752]

Thanks mate .. after three painful weeks of being in a stunning paradise full of incredible wildlife opportunities and major daily frustration .. the electrical tape has swung life back to normal ...

How to fix error 01 Aperture complaint fixed kzbin.info/www/bejne/fKu6Zn-pjcZkfKM

[@browntrout611]

As I replied previously, David's trick works except I can't control the aperture-until now. I put the old Canon EF lens that give me the error reading on my Canon 6D and put it on my old Canon film camera where I set the aperture. As far as I can tell the aperture stays at f16, my preferred aperture for landscape photos. So you simply set the aperture on a camera body that the lens works on and it should stay at that aperture on the camera giving you the error reading regardless of the aperture reading that camera tells you(00 on mine).The downside is that the aperture is fixed at that setting for the next shots unless you change it again, if you can live with that.

[@AntoniaStefanova-w9t]

Amazing hack really works thanks

[@tUBEROCKErPriyankar]

Wow the tape one worked for me!!! 😍😍😍😍 Thank you so much, I thought my camera was having some issue!

[@GuilleFunes_]

Thank u borther. The 2nd trick worked for me. Thanks!

[@Hendrixbriere]

Third solution worked for me! Loosing my aperture setting on the camera, but let me use my Tamron 17-50mm again!! Thanks a lot, think it won't be the last time I use this trick!!

[@solar-jaymi]

Would I still be able to use auto focus if I cover up that part with the electric tape??

[@Guiz-Focus]

You have just save my day !!! No my life!!! I have thinking my camera is dead (canon R6) but with your 1mm option it finaly work and now i know its just my adaptator EF to RF have a bug!! Ty a lot (ps sorry for my bad english ^^)

[@hemuakasolti]

The last trick worked on my Canon 6D camera.

[@burlysmith4844]

Thank you the electrical tape worked for me. I take my camera everywhere, I wasn't sure if it was tamp. or got a piece of sand in it. Thank you for saving me, I take pics everyday.

[@surjaldas4024]

Same here, I used a very small piece of paper so that electrical chips should not touch each other.

[@MUFSpoiler]

and the autofocus ?

[@s.sridhar8991]

3 rd step very use full tips brothr thank you so much 😍

[@DonnJo]

Hell Yeah!!!! Mine started working when I untwist lens a tad bit but it makes me feel uneasy so I used a little strip of electrical tape and now my camera can actually takes pictures!!! Thanks!

[@UKCheeseFarmer]

450D last fix worked! Thank you so much Dylan. This has been driving us mad for a year, always maintained our camera gear and this error appeared out of nowhere.

[@bauerdraws6163]

But does the auto focus still work? Or is it now all manual?

[@UKCheeseFarmer]

@@bauerdraws6163 Unfortunately it was manual only. Have never had this issue on any other camera aside from Canon so have now switched to Sony and have never had an issue since.

[@bauerdraws6163]

@@UKCheeseFarmer mmmm, thank you. I might do the same.

[@UKCheeseFarmer]

@@bauerdraws6163 I believe it is a problem with the firmware rather than the lens itself, and something Canon refuses to resolve!

[@rickarddt]

Thanks mate. Wife has an old macro lens that wouldn't work on her 700D, tape did the job, really appreciated.

[@sisye_edd]

Thanks for giving me a solution, i tried the third method and its working ❤❤❤❤❤ just a minute after watching this video

[@emasarechard4884]

Wow this awesome you saved my as on a day I had a lot of studio work

[@LoKeLoatheMe]

so I have the lens that came with my canon and it started doing the error 1 after using it a lot for video and turning it ever so slightly is the only thing that worked. thank you man

[@dominicnguyen3802]

Thanks a bunch, Wow it works with the last step (elect. tape). Love you....

[@dipanwitabasu2756]

Thank you so much for the awesome trick! Yes it worked out for me. My camera is running smoothly. Love from India.

[@adiltanveer534]

You are genius bro

[@Sankara561]

MY EOS 1300D / Rebel T6 doesn't seem to have that menu setting I guess because it is set on by default. Disengaging the lens slightly actually allows for autofocus to work on my lens, but like many others I've gone with the electrical tape method. I couldn't quickly figure out with combination of contacts allow for autofocus without triggering the error so just going to use manual focus. Shooting in shutter priority seems to work best because I have no display of aperture, I guess the aperture is what it is for my cheap zoom lens that doesn't have a big aperture range anyway. Thanks for the video!

[@andyskarbinski2430]

Thank you so much. My old canon lens failed with er01. I tried everything but it wouldn't work. Taping the contacts has got it working. again. I've lost AF but at least it's now usable, and I mostly use it for night shooting which is manual focus.

[@MaestroRobbie]

The last tip you gave works. Thank you so much. You just saved my lens!💯

thanku sir working to my 18-55mm lens

That last tip was PERFECT! Thank you!

[@aaronlurchano3293]

It worked! The third hackk, thanks man!

[@gkune]

I am using a Sigma lens on a Canon camera and is getting the same error. I thought the pin from the lens needed to touch the metal from the camera. Wondering why covering it with tape makes it work. Will give it a try. Hope it works. Thanks for the workaround.

[@An_Escaped_Mind]

OMG! I just rotated my lens slightly and my camera works! Thank you for your help!

[@arunpremkumar3920]

Thanks a lot. I will check this tomorrow.

[@browntrout611]

Dylan's solution works, the lens will take photos when turned a tad, but I still can't control or know what aperture I'm in. I get a 00 reading for the aperture. I'm still tinkering with it.

[@themarcomoreira]

worked for me! Thanks ❤🙏👏

Am facing the same error and I will try hoping it will work coz I was about to buy another lens

Ah! I just picked up my oldie but awesome EOS 6D that had that problem with a Tokina ATX- PRO 100mm f2.8. That 1mm unscrew solution did it for me. Though I lose autofocus, I'm happy. Thank you for that! Regards from Portugal.

You have to buy another adapter that has a manual adjustment so that you can control it.

[@markokerp9564]

How on 2023?

[@md.sharifhossainkhanshagar2073]

Try this... 1. Turn off the camera. 2. Turn it back on. 3. Take a photo with maximum F stop/ aperture. 4. Take another photo with minimum F stop/ aperture. Insha'allah, it will work properly again. Good luck!
