bu59 / bu54 / buSY / busy
Description: If the message bu59, bu54, buSY or busy is displayed on the camera, it could mean one of the following things:
- The flash is recycling. If you shoot 20 images with flash at short intervals, the flash might stop operating. This is to protect the flash unit
- Continuous Shooting has occurred. This indicates that the camera's buffer memory is full and shooting cannot continue
- The EOS camera is connected to a PC, Mac or printer
Resolution:
- If you press the shutter button halfway and the message is displayed in the viewfinder and/or on the LCD monitor, wait until the display turns off. This gives time for either the flash to recycle or the buffer memory to clear, enabling full use of the camera again.
- If the camera is connected to a PC, MAC or printer, disconnect before attempting to use.
NOTE: Please do not switch off your EOS camera while "buSY" is shown. This may cause problems with the EOS camera or Compact Flash card.
