‘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.
