‘ERRor 02′ aka ‘oh, Canon EOS-1Ds Mark II, how I love thee’

Today at my shoot, my main camera, a trusty Canon EOS-1Ds Mark II (say that 3 times fast) just back from the shop for a sensor cleaning, was giving me an incomprehensible error message: ERRor 02.  Seriously?! Bah!  A battery removal and replacement did the trick.  For like 5 minutes at a time at best.  BAH!  Did they mess it up at the shop?  Will I have to send it away for repair?  Basically, how badly am I screwed?

As soon as I got home I grabbed my dog-eared manual.  And did I ever luck out!  I am so grateful because apparently ERRor 02 is all about a ‘faulty memory card’ – who knew? -  and I’d already downloaded my images, so it worked well enough to get the job done without any magical restore software, and I didn’t even know enough to freak out that maybe that whole shoot wouldn’t appear on my hard drive!  Yes!

So memory card in the trash and a thank you to the camera geek gods and I am on to editing my shoot.  What a beautiful day.

    Beautiful exterior shot. Glad the card was good enough to get the work done… I seem to recall you doing the proposal package for this group, am I right?

    Good memory! That was years ago. And it all comes full circle. And thanks – it would have been horrible to come home and find nothing after all that work.

    We all pray at the altar of geek gods (camera, computer, car…) from time to time…
