i am the OP of that thread on POTN.

my 1DX is still at canon... and I got a brand new service loaner 1DX from CPS while my 1dX is in service..

Have had the brand new service loaner 1DX for the past 7 days....

it worked fine without any error for the past 7 days in any kind condition... However, this err 80 thing happened last night.. when i was going through menus and setting....

the camera kept giving me about 20 err80 in a row so i had to give up , shut down the camera and went sleep...

This morning.. when i get up , power on the camera... the err 80 went away.. and it worked just fine for the past few hours...!!!!

Jesus ...I have had enough of this err....and this is the second 1DX body that i use that's having this err80....

what the heck is going on.... my 1DX is at Canon waiting for parts...and now the service loaner 1DX started to have the same err 80....

I shot my first 300 frames with my brand new 1DX and a new 85LII today and had err80 appear 6 times telling me to power down camera and reinsert the battery back. I am using Sandisk Extreme Pro 32gb cards.

Anybody else seeing this. Someone on POTN board seems to think its temp/humidity related. I live is S Florida...

Moody, same exact thing with me. 85L II, Sandisk Extreme Pro 64gb (slot 1) and 32gb (slot 2).
I first saw the error after only a handful of photos but I thought it was because I had the LP-E4 from the 1D4 installed. It mostly happens to me when I am reviewing the photos on the card. If it happens once then after I turn off the camera and re-insert the battery then it will most likely happen again. But if I try to snap a few pics before reviewing again then it seems to go away for a little while. I'm still talking with CPS, they want to send it in for repair but not even sure if they can find the issue. I didn't have any errors yesterday in the studio so I'm going to hold out.

...Images look to good to give up the camera for a small glitch.

First shot was at ISO 4000, second one was shot using Automatic point selection and iTR

This is my first post here! I've been a longtime lurker, and finally decided to join, as I've been enjoying the site. Thanks for all of the good info here!

Here's an update to the above link: The OP/user at P.O.T.N sent his new 1DX into Canon (CPS) and apparently he was told that his Error 80 was due to a bad Printed Circuit Board (PCB) that would require a replacement part from Japan. So, it sounds like a hardware issue. There seems to be quite a few people reporting this issue, so perhaps Canon got a bad batch of PCB's, or this occured in the manufacturing process. Lets hope for the best!

@Mark, Great shot by the way!

MomentForeverImage,

Wow, That's quite alarming! Sorry, to hear about your troubles. I was hoping that this was just an isolated event.
Since you mentioned that the error occurred again once you started setting some menu functions, perhaps you should reset the camera settings and only use the default settings for now, or only change one setting at a time in order to determine if it is repeatable. Thanks for reporting the issue. Lets hope that Canon can come up with a solution after investigating this further.

I did a reset before I went to sleep last night. And the camera worked fine so far.

We will see.

Two 1dx bodies having the same err 80. I am assuming its some kind of bug that's related to some sort of setting.

I have been Error 80 free for the past few days of shooting with the 70-200L II so I am convinced it has to deal with the 85L II.

As a side note, has anyone noticed their activity light for the memory card going crazy? Sometimes mine will stay on for a few minutes even if I haven't taken any photos for a while.

I shot most of my project using 85l. How can I live without 85l?


So u have err 80 every time when pairing with 85l?

I also switched to 24l ii. Got err 80 as well

So it's not only 85l that's causing the problem.


Btw. I haven't noticed the thing u mentioned about the memory card light.

Not sure how true is this. I think I was the first one exchange the unit so I didn't receive the call from the same shop.

http://www.clubsnap.com/forums/canon...rr-80-a-2.html

Latest info I have just received: Apparently, Canon SG may have been aware of this issue. Cathay Photo told me that there was a recall of all their 1st batch of 1DX due to an issue he wasn't able to advise (too technical for him probably). They have since asked all their customers who bought the first batch to send down for an exchange. They are currently selling the 2nd batch where so far, no problems reported yet.

It`s absolutely a shame for Canon.

I send this error message a few month ago to Canon, since the error came up on my 1D X prototype.

There is also a problem with the 32 GB Sandisk Extreme CF Card (60 MB/s) in some 1D X and 5D Mark III. Canon hadn´t fix this problem.

I report many errors in the last month that came up in the 5D Mark III and in the 1D X.

Some errors Canon had fixed, some errors are not fixed until today.

Waiting for a new firmware.

I reset the 1DX to factory setting and it's been free of err 80 for the past two days in different photo shoot with my 85L II.. I don't know if it's related to some personal settings....that a firmware update could fix...

we will see.

I have used the camera a bit more over the past few days and not had Err 80 at all. Even with the 85L. BH is willing the take the camera back but they will not re-order for me until the current one is returned and then I will be placed at the top of the line... My issue is that I leave for 3 weeks starting Aug 11 and there is no way that the new one will be back. I guess this will limit me to dealing with CPS...

This is strange though how the Error has waned since getting it. I had numerous errors with the 85 in the first day. a few errors a few days later then 1 error and now none.

Im based in HK and after my conversation with the technical staff in Canon HK, they've informed me that its likely a hardware issue and for me to send it back in for repair.

In my case, the Err 80 never stopped popping up despite using a 24mm f/1.4 II, 35mm f/1.4, 50mm f/1.2 or 85mm f/1.2 II.... even without a lens, the issue came up. HOWEVER, it started while using the 85mm f/1.2 II
Kinda disappointing given that I've only had it for 4 weeks.

anyone else had to send it in for repair?
