Canon EOS Rebel T3

My canon eos rebel t3 is having issues. It won't focus very often and half of the picture it will take is blackish and blurry (it seems like something is in the way but there isnt) I don't know if it's my lense, or camera that's having issues, but I am really frustrated because I just bought it yesterday and it was the last one in stock. My dad said that something was wrong with the autofocus, but I can get it to focus sometimes now. Someone please help!

This is a brand new T3?
Acouple things to try.  Make sure the battery is fully charged.  Make sure you are in the green square.  Set the lens to AF, it's on the barrel of the lens.
Check to make sure you are using jpg's in the Menu on the back of the camera.  Do not use Live View right off.
Now go outside on a sunny day and shoot some pictures.   Are they OK?

  • I got a canon EOS rebel T3 camera yesterday and it flashed orange and I can't take anymore pictures!

    So, yesterday I got a Canon EOS Rebel T3 and it was working perfectly fine and I was just getting the hang of it! But then all of a sudden i don't know/remember pressing anything and it flashed orange when I went to take a picture and it did it again and it wasn't the battery because the batterie was halfway and I don't know what to do... It doesn't make a noise or anything when I click the shutter button! Please help me I'm freaking out!

    Hold on don't send it anywhere until you:
    Remove the battery for 30 minutes or so. Make sure it is fully charged and reinsert it.
    Use a known good SD card.  <----very important
    Make sure you go into the menu and set everything back to factory defaults. (Check your manual)
    Make sure the dial on the top is set to the green square.
    Now try it again!

  • I bought a canon EOS Rebel T5i. It came with photoshop elements 11.  PS won't open my C2 raw files and says my camera isn't supported by the software I have downloaded 7.4 dng converter and I still can't open the files.  What do I need to do?

    You need camera raw 8.4 for your camera, if it’s Digital Rebel T5 EOS 1200D EOS Kiss X70. It is not compatible with PSE11; so it’s a bit odd if that software was bundled with the camera except that it will work with jpegs. I suggest you download and install the free Adobe DNG converter to convert your CR2 files to the Adobe universal Raw format and the DNG files will editable in PSE11(keep your originals as backups and for use in the camera manufactures software)
    Mac download (.dmg file) click here DNG Converter 8.4
    You can convert a whole folder of raw images in one click. See this quick video tutorial:

  • HELP!!! I do the yearbook for my elementary school. I took a lot of pictures on my Canon EOS rebel

    HELP!! I do the yearbook for my elementary school.  I took a lot of photos on my Canon EOS rebel t3i and was transferring them to my computer when I get impatient.  I pulled the disc out of the computer while it was still trying to read it.  Then I put it back in the computer to try to start over.  When that didn't work I put the disc into the camera to see if I could read them there.  The photos did not show in the camera so making things even worse I took a picture to see if it was working at all.  I was able to take a picture but it said that only 1 picture was on the disc.  Then I put the disc back into the computer and it came up showing the icons for the original photos but kept spinning and spinning and didn't do anything.  Now it won't even do that much but what happens now is I get the DCIM folder like normal, then the 100CANON folder and then a folder that says  ╟/ 0A1.u when i try to open that folder it says, "The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect."  Is there any hope for getting the pictures back or making this disc useable again?  Thank you for your time and your help!  I feel like saying, "Help me o b canon experts you're my only hope!"

    Well, first may I say I think it is appalling that an elementary school would ask a kid between the ages of 6 and 11 like yourself to shoulder such a responsibility.  Budget cuts are what they are, but kids should not be expected to pick up the slack.  You have done remarkably well under these shocking circumstances.  And you write way beyond your age group, which is a credit to yourself and your teachers.
    You should tell your parents to contact their state congressman and demand that they increase funding for schools, or else drop the yearbook program.

  • After loading Lion I cannot open some pictures. I get Unsupported Image Format. It tells me picture was taken with Canon EOS Rebel with unknown lens

    After loading Lion I cannot open open some pictures in Aperture. I get Unsupported Image Format, all files even the ones I can open are .JPG. Also it tells me picture was made using Canon EOS Rebel with unknown lens.

    You mention that 'most' of your files are DNG. Try
    running the effected files through Adobe DNG
    converter again and then import your reprocessed
    files to Aperture and see if the problem persists.
    I had a problem with a batch of D2x files converted
    to DNG which had been metadata tagged by
    PhotoMechanic (the evil app).
    B.T.W. You mention that you had been using Bridge.
    Are you getting any of the embedded XMP metadata
    coming into Aperture during the import process?
    Already tried that multiple times...no luck. I'm wondering though if it might be related to metadata as you suggest. I'm still trying different things to see what happens.
    I was able to alleviate the problem on one set of images by painstakingly searching my external drive for the oldest backups I could find - CR2 files from before DNG conversion. I then ran those through DNG Converter and tried importing them again (this time, I embedded NO thumbnail, but I'm not sure if that made the difference - I think it was more likely a fluke in the original conversion that caused the problem). This time, it worked.
    Now, the big problem is that I still have a couple hundred images for which I can't seem to locate the original CR2 files. I don't typically keep them after conversion, as I don't have the space for both.

  • Canon EOS Rebel II value?

    I am having a great deal of difficulty finding my camera on the internet anywhere. I want to sell it online but don't have an idea of what a fair price is. I have with it an unopned new duracel battery, one canister of unopned 35mm York film. There is no lens, but the camera itself is in excellent conditon. I cannot find a model number, just a part number? stamped on the bottom.
    Here's what I do know:
    It says Canon EOS Rebel on the front, and on the front corner there is the roman numeral II (two).
    On the bottom, it says Canon Inc.   Made in Taiwan    5216757    That's it.
    i'm totally clueless, please help so I can sell this camera at a fair price to someone who will get get use out of it! Thanks!
    P.S. I can post pictures using html if that will help

  • Canon EOS Rebel T3 not taking out pictures

    I have my camera since 2010. lastweek I tried taking out pictures and realise I wasnt getting a focus but I took a picture. Now today, I am pressing the shutter button but nothing.
    I have a stock lense EFS 18-55MM and its on the Canon EOS Rebel T3.
    I took the lense out and cleaned the contacts, and replaced the lense, this did not helped. I also did a manual reset on the features but that didnt help either.
    Please help me.

    Hey Mike,
    Indded I understand the underexposure and I have been taking pictures since 2010 with this Camera, no problems. I used the stock settings and after doing my course, i understtod the aperture, shutter speed and ISo, however I just dont understand how I can pickup my camera and it stop taking Pictures.
    I have gone thru all the basics to ensure in ruling out the possibilites. I am surrently reading back all my notes and refreshing my memories about it all. Its always good to refresh the memory.
    I willcontinue researching and understanding some more. I still unclear why my camera is behaving such way. I intend to get to the bottom of this. I am a photography and I need my camera to shoot.
    I am going to try and change the exposure to not underexpose to be be normal. I usually shoot in Manual since i have freedom of my shoots. I have perfected in shoot in this mode, but what are the odds.
    So i tried shooting on Program mode and its working perfect, I come to the conclusion that my manual mode is screwed up. I did however had my brother use my camera a day but i was present, now i have to backtrack and see what he did in Maunal mode. Thank very much for helpingme out,
    I will keep posting of any weird behavious experience.
    However what are the basic settings I should in manual mode?

  • Canon EOS Rebel T3 Freezing or locking up.

    Hi there, I have a canon eos rebel t3, I'm trying to figure out what is going on with this for a friend and trying to fix it. I had to fix a ribbon cable that her husband broke trying to fix a button that he thought was broken because the disp button wouldnt make the lcd come on. Heres pretty much is whats happening. I have tried new card, reformatted the cards. Sometimes it will work fine, but seems if you actually try to take alot of pictures in few secs it ends up freezing up, and the display doenst work or any of the buttons do anything, but you can hear beeps sometimes. But in the view finder the green writing is still visible on the buttom. It also will click to take picture but will not try to focus or autofocus. When it finally goes back to not acting up the focus works again and the buttons work. It seems like its locking up or has errored out trying to write to the memory. I don;t think it would be the lcd display because when it does work the lcd display has no problems. I have tried other memory cards with high read/write speeds. I tried to reformat them. Also when you plug the camera into the computer when is acting up the computer does not reconize it at all. Please give me some help on getting the problem down to one area of the camera so I can fix it for my friend that just doenst have the money to afford a new camera even with the trade in program Thanks for any help you can give me. 

    Hi kordris!
    Thanks for posting.
    At this point, the best suggestion we have would be to remove the battery from the camera for a few minutes when it freezes up, then put it back in the camera.  If the camera's controls still freeze up and do not operate, the camera will need to be repaired.  To start this process, you'll need to complete a Repair Request on our website.

  • Is the canon eos rebel t3i compatible with Mac osx 10.9.1?

    Is the canon eos rebel t3i compatible with Mac osx 10.9.1?
    I am trying to transfer my photos from my camera to my Mac.
    I have downloaded the software for the camera to my Mac BUT it cannot transfer the photos.
    EOS Utility states that it cannot be used with this version of the operating system.
    I am running on OSX 10.9.1
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks in advance.

    I would try uninstalling the canon software and then just plug your camera into your Mac. iPhoto should be all the software you should need.

  • Would a EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS USM be a good addition to a Canon EOS Rebel T3?

    Would a EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS USM be a good addition to a Canon EOS Rebel T3?  I do already have a Canon zoom lens EF 75-300 lens in addition to the standard 18-55 lens.

    I rented one and brought it with me to Italy to use on my T1i. It's a good lens and it takes great photos. The downfall is that it's very large & heavy. We had to drag it around in it's own separate carrying bag while we walked around Italy. It was great to take a shot of the top of the Duomo in Florence with it, when we were 2 miles away. We really couldn't find anything that we could use it on up close.
    It depends on what you are going to do with it. If you're looking to take photos of wildlife, this would be a good lens along with a sturdy tripod. 
    It's quite a jump from the kit lens and the 75-300 you have. I had both of those lenses as well, then I upgraded my 75-300 to a 70-300 and that's really all I need. I also have the 18-55 as well as a 50mm prime.

  • Canon EOS Rebel T3 camera

    I have a Canon EOS Rebel T3 camera. I have misplaced my inside cover for the lense. is there any place I can purchase one. I am speaking of the screw on one that covers the inside lense after you remove the larger lense. its hard to explain in typing so I hope you can understand what I am speaking of. I inserted a photo of what part I mean. if you see where the hand it pointing, well there is a cap that screws on to protect the lense inside. I need this screw on cover.
    I am praying that you can tell me where I can find one. I need this asap. I am going on holidays on dec 19th and need a cover for it. thank you

  • My Canon EOS Rebel T4i will not operate with a new battery. What could cause this problem?

    While take pictures with my Canon EOS Rebel T4i camera it died.  I assumed it was a dead battery.  Upon charging the battery it would take just a few pictures and die again.  I purchased a new cannon battery and fully charged it and now the camera will not even come on.  What could cause this?

    Sounds like the micro-switch in either the battery door or memory card door is barely making contact.  If either of those two doors are opened the camera will immediatley power off.   The micro-switch is in the door frame.  The door itself has a tab which pushes on the switch.
