Just spent an hour googling and searching the forums, didn't find a real great answer.
In short:
Getting 'no card in camera' error in 60D and weird grinding noise
- Canon 60D
- 7 different memory cards (old and new)
- 7 different batteries (OEM and off-brand)
- With and without battery grip
- With 17-55mm 2.8 lens set to AF and MF
- All batteries and SD cards have worked previously
- Formatted all cards
- Reset 60D to factory settings
More details:
So I'm getting this error in my 60D "No card in camera" and my 60D is making some strange grinding noise. Obviously I've never had a single problem with this camera until 8 hours before a big wedding. We have 4 cameras total, but that's split between 4 people (2 photographers and 2 videographers). There's no rental shops that open in Chicago until 9 a.m, and our shooting starts before then.
Here's the specifics. We just randomly got this message tonight while formatting a 16gb card. We tested 7 different cards and 7 different batteries. We have a few Transcend cards (2x16gb and 1x8gb, all Class 10 cards) 2 32 gb SanDisk Ultras (Class 10... these are brand new and never used) and a few old Optimas we really don't use anymore. We have 2 or 3 OEM Canon LP-E6 batteries and 4 or 5 off-brand batteries. We tested with and without our third-party battery grip, but still got the error and grinding noise regardless.
Tried formatting all cards. No dice. Removed and replaced batteries. Nothing. Reset 60D to factory settings. Still nothing. I'm stumped. I've done nothing different or new with my camera. It's been working flawlessly all week.
Here's where it gets weird. We're getting the "No card in camera" error at random times. It doesn't appear to be any one certain battery or one certain SD card that is triggering this error. Some of the cards have been used dozens of times without fail while the 2 32 gb Sandisk Ultra cards are brand spanking new. We've tried a bunch of different combinations or cards and batteries, yet we're still getting the error at random (and often.... about 75% of the time we're getting the error).
There's also a crazy grinding noise coming from the camera. This happens when the lens is set in manual and autofocus modes. Tried with and without the battery grip.
I'm guessing it might be the camera's SD card reader connectors? If so, what can I do aside from spraying air in it? Anything else it could be?
I'm really looking for battle-tested options. Time is ticking, but my 60D is not.
Thanks!
