if i could jump through a screen and hug you..the TAPE saved me!! MILLION thank you. bought a old vintage SIGMA and felt "buyers regret" this tricked both my canon's and yes I cannot "see" numbered APERTURE ( it says F00) but I USE it on manual/ and A/V and IT SNAPPED the photos!!! you saved me a lot of tears...expensive hobby!!
What worked for me was to avoid the narrowest zoom setting on my 11-16mm lens (16mm) - it wasn’t this fix, cleaning the lens contacts, or several other fixes on other UA-cam’s - just in case that helps anyone else who hasn’t had success with these tips (which truly HAVE helped a lot of people, so thankyou btw)
Thank you so much! Thought I'd have to send my lens away and tried everything possible and tried twisting the lens via the release and it's now working again. You've saved me so much time and money!
omfg I cant tell you how RELIEVED I am for such a simple fix as the tape idea... and kicking myself for how obvious it was and it not even crossing my mind!!! I was soooo upset when a sigma lens I just recently got was not communicating properly with my camera body... Full manual and fully zoomed it was just fine... but in manual and at nearest zoom it wouldn't.... yet in Auto shoot mode fully zoomed it would error, but near zoom it worked perfectly lol I was so confused.... Thank you!!! I shoot manual 100% of the time, but i while i was diagnosing the error i tried every mode.
As I replied previously, David's trick works except I can't control the aperture-until now. I put the old Canon EF lens that give me the error reading on my Canon 6D and put it on my old Canon film camera where I set the aperture. As far as I can tell the aperture stays at f16, my preferred aperture for landscape photos. So you simply set the aperture on a camera body that the lens works on and it should stay at that aperture on the camera giving you the error reading regardless of the aperture reading that camera tells you(00 on mine).The downside is that the aperture is fixed at that setting for the next shots unless you change it again, if you can live with that.
. . . and Viola'! I was ready to sell my Canon 60D for $20 for parts :( but gave it one more chance to find "some wizard" here on youtube who might have a trick up their sleeve. Bingo!! I followed your steps and it's working again! I used the first option - "Custom functions" tip (not the tape) Thank you so much!!
But don't you need the contacts on the mount for the camera? I was told the pins and contacts work together to give the aperture, shutter speed, lens model, etc. So why cover the contacts on the adaptor? I'm confused, lol. Thanks for the info in this video, always learning something new!
Two things: 1 it’s a lens that wasn’t made for canon- it’s a Helios 44 hence him using an adapter. 2. He’s shooting full manual mode. So it doesn’t need/use the electronic contacts. He’ll adjust those manually. So this is still a solution for switching any lens you use into full manual mode and allowing you to capture images w/out electronic contact. Hope this helps.
hey bro thanks for the tip about the electrical tape cause I bought a pre own lens and it's showing that faulty error then I saw your electrical tape now my lens is working just fine thank you much
Eey Dylan you saved me Mate🙆♂️ Was stuck and my daughter’s wedding in 3 weeks. Phew😇 I used the 3rd option. Isolated the electrics and boom I’m back in action💃💃💃💃 Thanks a lot Mate. I have subscribed TWICE🙈
Same here, in the place of electrical tape I used a very small piece of paper so that electrical chips should not touch each other. Nevertheless, it worked equally well for me. Thank You So Much and Thanks A Lot Jesus for getting me this video! Amen!
Thanks mate .. after three painful weeks of being in a stunning paradise full of incredible wildlife opportunities and major daily frustration .. the electrical tape has swung life back to normal ...
Thank you the electrical tape worked for me. I take my camera everywhere, I wasn't sure if it was tamp. or got a piece of sand in it. Thank you for saving me, I take pics everyday.
MY EOS 1300D / Rebel T6 doesn't seem to have that menu setting I guess because it is set on by default. Disengaging the lens slightly actually allows for autofocus to work on my lens, but like many others I've gone with the electrical tape method. I couldn't quickly figure out with combination of contacts allow for autofocus without triggering the error so just going to use manual focus. Shooting in shutter priority seems to work best because I have no display of aperture, I guess the aperture is what it is for my cheap zoom lens that doesn't have a big aperture range anyway. Thanks for the video!
You have just save my day !!! No my life!!! I have thinking my camera is dead (canon R6) but with your 1mm option it finaly work and now i know its just my adaptator EF to RF have a bug!! Ty a lot (ps sorry for my bad english ^^)
Third solution worked for me! Loosing my aperture setting on the camera, but let me use my Tamron 17-50mm again!! Thanks a lot, think it won't be the last time I use this trick!!
Thank you so much. My old canon lens failed with er01. I tried everything but it wouldn't work. Taping the contacts has got it working. again. I've lost AF but at least it's now usable, and I mostly use it for night shooting which is manual focus.
Hell Yeah!!!! Mine started working when I untwist lens a tad bit but it makes me feel uneasy so I used a little strip of electrical tape and now my camera can actually takes pictures!!! Thanks!
I am using a Sigma lens on a Canon camera and is getting the same error. I thought the pin from the lens needed to touch the metal from the camera. Wondering why covering it with tape makes it work. Will give it a try. Hope it works. Thanks for the workaround.
Dylan's solution works, the lens will take photos when turned a tad, but I still can't control or know what aperture I'm in. I get a 00 reading for the aperture. I'm still tinkering with it.
450D last fix worked! Thank you so much Dylan. This has been driving us mad for a year, always maintained our camera gear and this error appeared out of nowhere.
@@bauerdraws6163 Unfortunately it was manual only. Have never had this issue on any other camera aside from Canon so have now switched to Sony and have never had an issue since.
so I have the lens that came with my canon and it started doing the error 1 after using it a lot for video and turning it ever so slightly is the only thing that worked. thank you man
Hello uhm I have one problem on the electrical tape. The live view is much darker than the connected lens? I have my stock lens but it keeps giving me error 01. Please help..
I'm getting the communication error with only 1 camera body and only 1 lens (5Dm4 & Sigma 28mm) -- the lens works fine on a different camera & other lenses work fine on the 5D --- any ideas?
Wonderful but what after cleaning lens and camera connections you still get the message intermittently even after having the communications unit in the lens changed.
I have an R6 w/the EF 24-70 f/2.8 II USM. I've followed the electrical tape instruction along w/the "Release shutter w/o lens" setting. When I remount the lens on the R6 body, I'm not able to auto-focus nor can I see my f-stop (i.e. F0.0). Help!
Ah! I just picked up my oldie but awesome EOS 6D that had that problem with a Tokina ATX- PRO 100mm f2.8. That 1mm unscrew solution did it for me. Though I lose autofocus, I'm happy. Thank you for that! Regards from Portugal.
Try this... 1. Turn off the camera. 2. Turn it back on. 3. Take a photo with maximum F stop/ aperture. 4. Take another photo with minimum F stop/ aperture. Insha'allah, it will work properly again. Good luck!
I tried putting the sticky part of a bandaid on the connectors of a Tameron lens I have with my Cannon since I didn’t have electrical tape. It worked!!!!
I have an old EF 50 MM 1:18 and was using it on my RP and it was giving me the Err 01, I used the tape, and no more error message (I have to use it on manual but it still works)
What could be the problem with the 18-55 lens, can I shoot with an aperture of 4.5 without zoom and with zoom up to 5.6? Thanks to anyone who responded
Slightly unscrewing the lens works but to zoom in I have to turn the lense so like it starts to unscrew the whole thing so not a viable solution for me. And I can’t find the setting to take photos with no lense on my canon 650D :(
Help my lens contacts are pretty scratched I got the lens like that is there a way to just replace the little contact block with a new one of the same size or does it need soldering to replace it? Any help or links would greatly be appreciated thank you all
Tha k you very much. Just bought a 70-200mm lens for 1500 and I couldn't take photos in the snow apparently. Using the electrical tape worked. Tysm! ❤

Thanks bro
Love from Bangladesh ❤️❤️
I tried this and everything works but the f stop stays at 0 and I can’t adjust it, any ideas?
cannot adjust Aperture Settings
That’s where I’m at right now. What lens were you using?
You have to buy another adapter that has a manual adjustment so that you can control it.
Me too bra
How on 2023?
Try this...
1. Turn off the camera.
2. Turn it back on.
3. Take a photo with maximum F stop/ aperture.
4. Take another photo with minimum F stop/ aperture.
Insha'allah, it will work properly again. Good luck!
