1DX err80

Everything was going fine (no err) since clearing out the settings. Decided to link spot metering to AF point again and BOOM - err80
Seems to only lock up in super low light when a clear point of focus cannot be determined.
Can all you 1DXer's try enabling spot metering linked to AF and try autofocusing with the lens cap on. I'm almost positive there is a bug with that setting, perhaps coupled with a particular AF setting.

It's confirmed it's a firmware issue, update coming soon. Not clear on the details yet, but I heard it doesn't have to do with personal settings, so no point right now in going crazy comparing settings. Will find out more tomorrow.

Great news. Thanks Rukes.

I see that not many people are reporting the error 80 message lately.

My wife & I have each had error 80 messages in the last couple of weeks shooting a gymnastic event.
We both missed some really important shots. :(

Both cameras have had the 1.06 firmware update.

Anyone else still experiencing issues?

Missing important shots is NOT good. That's when it becomes a serious problem.

Thanks for the feedback guys.

We've each only had 1 error message & we've taken over 20,000 shots each so it's not time to slash my wrists yet, but still, I've never had error messages on any cameras previously.

Edit: I should add that other than that, the camera continues to amaze me.....I love it. :)

Thank you for the info.

A bit outdated now, though, since this issue was addressed with a firmware update.

borrowed a 1Dx from CPS and over a 3 days of hard shooting (nearly 9000 images) I did not have any problems. I shoot with 2 cards, all 32GB, either Lexar 1000x or Sandisk Extreme Pro.

On a side note, the camera was great so I decided to buy it

I am still having this err80 problem and have the latest firmware. I first thought it might be a lens issue, but now realised it's not since I got the error with a different lens. What I am wondering if this has to do with the notice Canon sent out regarding the lubrication on the 1D X? I have not yet had this done and my camera is one of the models that needs it, maybe someone can confirm if this is related?

I've got the `Err 80` showing on the screen yesterday (August, 19th) with the red lamp glowing all the time even when I turn off the camera. Error appeared after I switched lenses. Latest firmware is installed.

Does anyone have any new information regarding this topic?
