1DX err70

[Erik S. Klein]

Same issue for me - was utilizing AEB, last (longest exposure) caused lockup "err70". Camera logs (Wrench::System Status Display::INFO) say my err70 = "An error prevented shooting". Pic of my log attached.

That looks mighty familiar. Right down to the RRS bracket.

Same issue for me, Err70 whilst bracketing images on the 1Dx.
I might wait until I see if your repairs fix the issue before I contact Canon as I don't want a main board replacement for no reason.
Can you keep up posted if your issue is fixed or not?

I just got off the phone with Canon Repair in Irvine. They got notice on Friday that there is, indeed, a firmware issue causing this. Something to do with the timer and long exposures. ( ) The next firmware update (no ETA) should fix it. No hardware needs to be touched to fix it.

They are shipping my camera back today. Fortunately they didn't open her up since the parts weren't on hand anyway...

Since it's an easy workaround I'm good with that.

Haha surprise surprise

I just got off the phone with them and they said the same, I'm getting it back tomorrow as well, yay!

So, if anyone else has this problem please do not send the camera in!

Thanks everyone for updating this thread!

Fantastic news, I can certainly live with the issue until the next firmware release, thanks for letting us know.
