Important announcement for owners of the EOS 1000D Digital SLR Camera
We have discovered that some EOS 1000D Digital SLR Cameras may exhibit the following phenomena:
The LCD monitor does not display, the shutter does not release, and the busy indication remains lit in the viewfinder.
The message, “Err99 Shooting is not possible. Turn the power switch to <OFF> and <ON> again or re-install the battery”, appears on the camera’s LCD monitor, and after the above operation is carried out, the LCD monitor displays in a language that is different from the actual language setting.
Cause
The above phenomena are due to a firmware bug that affects cameras with firmware version 1.0.5 or earlier.
