7D auto power off not working

My Canon EOS 7D is not turning itself off even though I have auto power off set for one minute. I think this problem began after I added a battery grip to the camera. Has anyone else had this problem?
gc

Is it a Canon battery grip, or a third party? I ask because I've heard of some strange things occuring when using non-OEM battery grips.
If it's a Canon battery grip, I'd try "rebooting" the camera to see if that clears the problem. Do you know how to do that? If not, it's pretty easy. Just remove all the batteries (including the date/time battery), turn the camera on and press the shutter release button once. It won't fire, but this will drain all remaining power from the system and force the camera to reboot. Put the batteries back in and check to see if the date/time needs to be reset... if so, you got a good reboot. (You might have to reset some of your other settings, too.)
Hopefully that helps. Otherwise, I'm at a loss.

  • Volume and power off not working

    My volume switch is apparently not working.  And I can't power down or off .   Seems like both switches are broken.  It's possible that is due to small liquid spill.  Can that be fixed or is it beyond repair?

    Certainly it is possible because of a liquid spill. If you get liquid into the opening of any electronic device, you could have problems. Apple will not repair the device. They would perhaps offer an out of warranty replacement, if you do not have Apple Care + Which will cover 2 incidents of accidental damage for a $49 copay.
    Let the device completely dry before you try anything else and perhaps you should take it to an Apple store for evaluation.

  • Betreff: Helix, windows 8.1. Sleep and power off not working correctly.

    I'm still havin issues booting my computer when docked or using standby when docked. I've set my computer to allways hibernate to disk as this lessens the problems for me when the computer hangs during bootup. The information is still there on the disk when you try to bootup several times.
    The backdraw is that boot is really slow and it I can tell you that it's really not making a good impression when you bring the computer to a presentation and people ask about it.

    Hi WooHooMe 
    i tried fixing it but had no luck, although it was fixed for a brief time. I think the problem is with the wireless driver. I think if you uninstall the intel pro set wireless software and then disable the network adapter(from device manager) reboot and re-enable the issue should be fixed. My problem was that afterwards i tried sharing media from my desktop and the problem resurfaced.. So it was a short win. 
    other things i tried is disabling the homegroup services(from control panel-->administrative tools-->services), opening cmd with administrator rights and typing "powercfg -requests" to see if there was anything blocking sleeping. 
    Anyway if you want to fix the shutdown issue, just disable fast startup from power options! It will shut down correctly but sleep will still have a problem.
    The other problem i have is i can't refresh windows. My usb recovery drive won't be recognised, and a win8 cd i had wouldn't help also(something about the windows drive being locked). 
    If you have virtual box installed you could also check this http://gurustop.net/blog/2013/09/11/windows-8-1-sl​eep-stand-by-hang-freeze-unable-to-wake-up-virtual​...
    That's what i got so far, hope it helps, till someone who knows a bit more solves the issue. 

  • Canon 60D does not resume after auto power off

    My Canon 60D does not resume after auto power off. It shows the empty battery icon when I press the shutter button, even the battey is fully charged. If I remove the battery and insert back it will resume to work. Any one had the same experience and know how to resolve it?

    The power switch is actually a "software" switch.  It's not like a light switch in that it doesn't actually provide or deprive the camera of power... only removing the battery will deprive the camera of power.  This is why it doesn't actually just go dark when you switch off power... instead you'll usually see it perform a sensor clean cycle and then power down.  The camera is technically in a kind of "sleep" mode monitoring the switch.  If a Canon camera ever seems to lock up and ignore all input, the battery should be temporarily removed to "reboot" the camera.   There is no "setting" in a camera that can configure it to ignore buttons.   Although... if the camera is in an automatic mode, some input is deliberately ignored to make it easier to use the camera.  Put the mode dial in a "creative zone" mode (P, Tv, Av, or M) and all buttons and menus should be accessible. You might try connecting the camera via USB cable to your computer and then attempt to control the camera via the Canon EOS Utility to see if that works.  If the camera responds fine to the computer control, then likely the camera's main board and circuits are working fine and it may just be a wiring problem -- as if some cable simply isn't getting a very solid connection.  If this is a wiring issue, you are probably better off sending it in for service.  

  • Does iPod not auto power-off when audio is paused?

    Hello,
    I fully recharged the iPod. I played about an hour and a half of audio. i am called to dinner, so I hit the Pause button. 2 hours later, I come back to the iPod, and the battery guage shows almost empty. And the screen was still on. (Backlight was off). The hold switch was at the off position.
    Doesn't the iPod auto-power off (screen goes off) a few minutes after pressing the pause button?I'm afraid that it's because my iPod's display was still on that the battery was depleted.
    (Then again, I may be wrong in saying that the screen was still on when I got to the iPod 2 hours later, maybe my finger touched the scrollwheel upon holding the iPod. I'm not sure. If this was the case, I still don't know why the battery level shows empty.)
    For you guys, how long does it take for your iPod's screen to auto-power-off?
    I have a theory.
    The iPod won't auto-power-off (and therefore save battery life) if an audio is set to pause.
    Is this theory correct or not?

    My 30 Gig 5G iPod did the exact same thing the other day, which would've been shortly after I updated it to 1.2. I did a reset and after that it's been behaving normally, shutting down after being paused for awhile. So, try a reset and see how it goes.

  • Upgraded to 8.3, now auto fill is not working. I have checked, rechecked my info, saved passwords, etc. to no avail. Is this bug in 8.3. Never did this until I upgraded.

    Upgraded IPad to to 8.3, now auto fill is not working. I have checked, rechecked "my info", "saved passwords", etc. to no avail. Is this bug in 8.3. Never did this until I upgraded. Wife is not happy I upgraded!

    Auto fill works for me in iOS 8.3.
    Try the standard troubleshooting steps in this order:
    Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after It shuts down, press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
    Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10-15 seconds). No data will be lost.
    Restore: Connect your device to iTunes on your computer, backup, and then select Restore to Factory.
    See here for more details on restore: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201252
    If none of these work your device may have developed a hardware problem. Contact Apple Support: http://www.apple.com/contact/

  • MacBook Pro Retina 15" Auto Power Off

    Hi,
    I have "auto power off" issue with my newly bought MacBook Pro Retina 15".
    This problem is very annoying, my MacBook Pro just auto power off, where I check the battery is 100% fully charged.
    The first encountered was about a month ago, the night I cannot turn on my MacBook Pro at all, the next day I sent it back to Apple Service Centre. The technician open up the bottom part, reset the battery by removing the battery cable, plug it back. Then turn on and perform some diagnosis test.
    It was working fine for about 2 weeks, and now the "auto power off" happen everyday.
    I have repartition my SSD drive to 2 partitions using BootCamp and installed with Windows 7 x64.
    At first, this problem happen when I boot into Windows 7 with BootCamp, at first, I thought this problem is due to Windows Drivers, and I have no choice but purchase Parallels Desktop, to run my Windows with OSX 10.8.2. After the Parallels installed, I upgrade my second partition to run Windows 7 concurrently with OSX, it was running fine on the first day! And I thought it has solve my problems, unfortunately the next day, this problems occurs again.
    I suspect this is due to hardward failure, something to do with the battery. Looks like the drivers is telling the Operating System, battery is 0%, and it just turn off itself.
    Anyone experience this? Please share your experience or advice what should I do next?
    Regards,
    Dave

    Hey Dave. Yes yes yes! Try reading through the thread below. Especially at the end. It has to do with an 'autopoweroff' setting that appears to be new and annoying.
    When plugged in, goes from sleep to hibernate after 4 hours of sleep (or 14,400 seconds).
    Very easy to turn off.
    This after many hours of research and discussion with no help from the folks at Apple.
    Basically, to query the settings (enter this from Terminal):
    pmset -g | grep autopoweroff
    You'll see the autopoweroff set to '1' and autopoweroffdelay set to 14400.
    To actually turn that 'feature' off:
    sudo pmset -a autopoweroff 0
    (then enter your Mac password)
    Now it will just sleep when plugged in and not go into hibernate.
    You can also tell the Mac how long before it powers off via the autopoweroffdelay setting (if you like this silly feature), but I just turned the sucker off.
    Here is the thread:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/20819713?ac_cid=tw123456#20819713
    Hopefully, that's the same problem you have, and it will quickly fix it.

  • Auto sync is not working. How can I manually transfer music from my macbook pro iTunes to iphone 5?

    Auto sync is not working. How can I manually transfer music from my macbook pro iTunes to iphone 5? My iMatch is turned on and I can direct downlad my music to the iPhone from the Cloud; however, I want to direct import All of my music from iTunes to my iPhone 5 via the connecting USB cable and it is not working. Yes, I have tried restarting both devices, and no autosync is not working nor is is it providing the avaialbile option to select music in iTunes on my Mac to then sync. Please help. Thanks

    Please disregard. I figured it out. Answer for anyone else running into this problem: You have to turn off iTunes Match on both devices. Apparently, if you activate iTunes Match it deactivates your abiltiy to direct sync.

    You only want to do this if your iPhone won't turn on or off and is completely frozen. Instead, try Resetting all settings in Settings > General > Reset > Reset all Settings
    I completely disagree.  Reset All Settings (your suggestion) would reset the OP's preferences and settings.  By contrast, resetting the iPhone (as I suggest) changes no preferences, settings, or any other data.  It simply starts the iPhone over, with no data loss.

  • About auto power off function

    Hello again guys,
    long time no see ,since yesterday as far as I remember
    Talking about Auto Power Off function , is there anyone that can tell us , it could be used on long terms - many days for example - as long as no one push the shutter or any button to wake the "beast" ?
    This function completly shut down the camera or it's a kind of sleep function and some parts remain power supplied ?
    Thanks,
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    It's not completly shutdown. However, it should not cost too much power if any at all. I have it on for a week. Unless you turn on the GPS. With GPS turned on, even if you turn off the camera, it is still active.

  • My auto-lock does not work properly in this new iOS 6

    My auto-lock does not work properly in this new iOS 6

    Do you have your Assistive Touch on? Per another user in another forum:
    Source: http://forums.imore.com/ios-6-forum/240631-auto-lock-not-working-ios-6-a.html. Username: Chambaka
    Okay, I did a 'reset all settings' in settings and problems fixed. Hope this can be useful for others.
    Edit: it appears that when the assistive touch is on the autolock function won't work while in the home screen, but will work if opening a app. I hope Apple fixes this bug in the next update.
    I tried what he said and my auto-lock's working again - so, I turned off my Assistive Touch. Hope Apple fixes this bug soon,

  • Z10 - Auto Power off like the 9800 had?

    My old Torch9800 had an auto-power off function which was really useful at night (and helped save battery life overnight) - I can't see where to do this on the Z10 - has that function been 'developed out'?

    As it's a community support forum there isn't any official way to make suggestions, however I suspect staff from BlackBerry do monitor these and will likely make note of the issues that generate a lot of replies.

  • Auto power off

      I seem unable to modify the auto power off on my Officejet Pro8100 ePrinter. I've looked at the drivers, and it tells me that if it prints I don't need to do anything else.   The software says it's 'PrinterProxy Version 9 (447)',  and I'm using OSX 10.9.1 (Mavericks) USB, not wireless.
    The instructions don't match what I have - I don't see an 'advanced settings' or 'maintenance' tab.

    Under menu - settings- system - media client (for Quantum for other STB should be similar).
    Set to none. Note: may need to scroll up to see none.
