Error message Canon 400d

[Menzo1982]

Hi guys,

Wondered if anyone could help I keep getting an Error 99 message on my canon 400d, BUT and a BIG but this only ever happens if im taking a picture out side, I currently only have a 30-80mm lens...... Confused out of my mind.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Error 99 is a generic code in that it can refer to a good many things. It can appear for no apparent reason and a quick re-boot often solves it. Error 99 also refers to communication problems between lens and camera, so worth cleaning the contacts...you can't lose anything in doing so.

Thanks pal, Iv done the lens conection clean with a rubber of the end of a pencil as advised by the lost in combat Jessops, but still no hope, You reckon if i try a different lens?? But why would it always work when i take a pic in doors?
