Persistent Error 99 code on Digital Rebel XT: Has anyone encountered such a problem and got a solution without sending the unit back to Canon?

Send it back ASAP As it in warranty as Error 99 is a general error some time due to a out of range setting in manual mode setting in the camera, bad lens and flash mounts plus more one thing to remember digital cameras with auto lens are very complex thing Thus more things to go wrong. Canon makes a ton of these, so some can be bad which is why we have warranty's

Hmm, that's really odd. My best guess would be the card first, I've taken a good amount of raw files in my 60 & I've never encountered anything on that matter. If the card was the issue then awesome, but if you try other cards and it seems to be the camera itself; then I would recommend calling canon directly. Here is the number & I hope this was helpful! : 1 800 652 2666 :D

I'm getting error99 due to the flash. If I put it into no flash mode the camera operates fine, just the pix are crap.

Good morning, Sorry it took so long to respond; I have been on vacation. I hope that your problem was resolved. I tried my unit for the first time yesterday; and the main problem that I had was making sure to push down the button down on the transmitter and hold it there for several seconds in order for it to operate. Also where to place the receiver on the camera hot shoe in order to receive the single; had the receiver facing backwards so that it would operate. Als make sure the batteries are in correctly. Bottom line, you get what you pay for. Good luck and have a great week. Jeff

I purchased a D5000 in July and have been very satisfied with it. Great camera. I recently received an email from Nikon about this problem. My s# is 304**** and they say it has the problem. I haven't sent it in yet. I'm having a problem with fixing something that works fine.

Dear Karen:Thank you for your reply. I have also contacted Canon. They were going to send me to the nearest service center, until I told them about your feedback with the same problem. Thanks for your help. I have received my refurbished replacement. I hope this one will stay function. Jeannette

Same thing happens to me!!?!?!? I'm trying to return the newest SD card I purchased. The camera works fine with one of my older SD cards.

I'm sorry. I really don't know. I would call Canon tech support. I use a PC.

I did encounter that error code just last week (after the printer was only 14 months old - fresh out of the warranty) and I did a lot of research. It's usually a bad print head. But what caused the head to go bad in the first place is the question. It could be an over-voltage issue from a bad circuit board (that would also need to be replaced) or it could be that you ran the printer with a dried up ink reservoir, which over-heated the print head, or it could be that it's really dirty and would have to be cleaned (although I didn't encounter anyone who eliminated that error code by cleaning it). So you have a few options: you can drop $70-80 on a new print head that may not fix the root problem and get damaged again, or you can take it to a repair shop and pay out the nose, but know it's repaired correctly, or you can just hedge your bets and buy a new printer (NOT a Canon). I opted for the latter and just got a new Epson. I'll never get another Canon printer.

Owner's manual doesn't address these issues. Suggest you go to the Canon website.

Had this B200 error code for almost a year now, just set it aside and used my 10 year old printer (still running strong btw). Well recently I had the need to start scanning again. Pulled this broken printer out and after fiddling with it for a bit I found that removing all ink and the "printer head" ( the black plastic on which the cartridges sit on) allowed me to bypass the B200 code and allowed me to scan. If you get any other error codes you might be able to bypass if you hold "OK" or "Stop" buttons for about 10 seconds or more. Hope this info helps some of you out there seeing as how this is a very common problem for all canon printers.
