#Canon eos cr2016 battery free#

Luckily I was able to pick up a Duracell CR2016 Lithium twin pack, at my local supermarket, so no need to travel to a camera store to get one. I replaced the CR2016 battery in my 5D last year, not because it needed changing, just to cover myself against the date/time battery stopping working when out shooting. Id second that idea, as there have been many discussions in recent years concerning the date/time battery, which is often the culprit when cameras start behaving strangely. Whistling Joe edited this topic ages ago. If you've never changed this (or it was so long ago you can't remember when), replace that first A dodgy clock battery can cause weird things to happen and it's better to try these basics before anything else :-)ĮTA - it does have a clock battery - a CR2016. It maybe worth contacting you local Canon repair centre for a quote.īefore doing anything else, I'd reset the camera to defaults, remove the battery (and the little clock battery assuming the 30D has one), leave it for a bit, then replace them (use a new clock battery, not the old one) and see what happens.

If theres a free fix someone on here will know about it ? You could then use the 30D as a second body, using the other cameras light meter to get the exposure settings. as they are quite affordable these days, and in the UK one shop ive looked at is selling a 40D for £60.00 more than a 30D.

Most other modes won't work.Ĭan this be fixed without having it send it in? Can it be fixed at all? Or am I just completely screwed and need to get another camera? I don't always want to shoot in Manuel but at this point that's all I can do to get the right to mostly right exposure.Ĭonsidering the cost of used 30D's it maybe a better option to get another body such as a used 40D. I've messed with the other settings, different modes, etc. When I shoot bright subject like a light bulb it's telling me it's way under exposed and pretty much stuck to the left. I have a Canon 30D and I'm pretty sure the light meter inside is broken.
