I have the same problem. I would say absolutely the auto is malfunctioning on my camera. The screen displays distance changing as if the camera can not calculate the distance correctly on auto. I get a 'busy' notification and the camera will do NOTHING. As well, yesterday during my daughters wedding, the sunlight was Perfect, however almost all of the photos are blurry or over exposed. My camera is just over a year old and beyond the warranty period. It is very upsetting to have this camera go belly up when it is certainly not a cheap camera or an old one. Canon should have a recall on this product because clearly there is a quality problem with it. :-( I have the same problem. I would say absolutely the auto is malfunctioning on my camera.

Hi, thank you so much for the speedy reply! I have performed a reset on the camera, as well as removing both the battery pack and the watch battery, to no avail. I did think of trying an external flash unit, and am currently trying to borrow one from a friend who has a genuine Canon unit to see if this will work. I have also contacted a UK Canon-approved repairer to get a quote, so I should hopefully soon know how much I can expect to pay. Thanks again for your help in the matter. Kind Regards, Andy

Yes, ERR99 is often the result of a lens problem. It can sometimes be caused by using an older incompatible lens or by a lens that's malfunctioning. For example, I've seen ERR99s when trying old incompatible lenses whenever I tried to stop down the lens. Another time, a lens had developed a sticky aperture diaphram intermittantly causing the error whenever I used a smaller aperture. See if the ERR99 stops when you shoot with a wide open aperture and returns when you shot at, say, f8.

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 moreone thing to remember digital cameras with auto lens are very complex thingThus more things to go wrong.Canon makes a ton of these, so some can be bad which is why we have warranty's

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.

One of several error codes that are plaguing this model and many others. I would never again advise a friend to buy a Canon printer. For the reasons why, I suggest you Google "Canon U052 Wrong Printhead Error" for the full story. There is a class action lawsuit under way.

I have been using my new card for a little over a month and so far no problems. I bought it to replace a SanDisk card that was full. Have another camera I have used for about 10 years and always use Sandisk cards with no problems.

I have not had the camera for that long, only about 4 months, but have not had the problem occur. Before buying this model, I did a lot of research about the problem and was confident enough that it had been fixed, to shell out almost two grand for the camera. The Ken Rockwell website is a good source of information on Nikon and Canon cameras. I relied heavily on Ken Rockwell's opinion. On another note, I absolutely love everything about this camera.

WOW! 25 doesn't handle RAW? My HS10, my very first camera I've been using professionally (haha...yes!) does do RAW, and I love it. It is now going on the fritz...so I'm looking to upgrade. Thanks for all the great info. I'm stunned...with all the great new info and I'm really helped here. THANKS! Jinn

That is awesome! I called almost 2 years ago complaining about this problem and they basically wanted to sell me an upgrade for a $100 discount - terrible! Will be sending my camera back asap. Has anyone sent it back already and gotten a replacement? Would love to hear your story!

I have been experiencing the EXACT same problem with my Canon A590IS since Nov. 2008. I replaced the lithium, button cell (not cheap or easy to find) and still have an occasional loss of date and time.My guess is the pull out battery carrier the button cell sits in is poorly designed allowing the cell to momentarily lose contact and thus require a reset.There have been at least a couple of complaints about this problem in the 590 reviews.

Might be defective. My first order was defective and it took a while to find out because I thought it was my camera too (Sony NEX). I returned it and got another working unit.

I haven't used the extra SDXC card in a while, but I have used a 32 gb SDHC and my usualy 64 gb SDXC without any problems in the past. If I remember correctly I had to go through the menu and make sure to format the cards before using them. Also, make sure you download the latest firmware from the Canon website it fixes problems with SDXC and a few other issues. I just got a 128 gb SDXC for a long trip I'll be taking and don't anticipate any problems. All my cards are Class 10 and my SDXC cards are both PNY

I have never had a single problem with this camera. As of today, I have taken more than 2000 pictures and really enjoy using it. My primary camera used to be a Canon 7D (a truly great camera!) but I now find myself using the X100 most of the time.

my camera still works. You may want to check and see if there is a firmware update that might solve your problem.

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.

I called the phone number inside of the box on one of the papers to start my warranty. It was automatically started as of that moment. I would contact Fujifilm and make sure to let them know of your concern. If you have anymore trouble, feel free to ask again and I will contact my son, whom I gave my camera to and find out more information for you. Good luck.

I have the very same problem. There must be some type of program error. I did a lot of research and gave up. I just pull the SD card and plug into my PC. There was no warranty on my camera when I found out it would not work with my PC or TV.

Hello, I had no problem. I didn't even format it. I just put it in and it worked. Are you sure it's the right card for your camera. Maybe you should return it and try a new one. It may be defective, or call the manufacturer customer service.
