the problem is that the sensor cant “see” in low light areas and beacuse its so poorly lit , the camera wont lock onto the subject, also check ur metering system

Here’s the fix to the err05 msg on the XTi and perhaps on other similar Canon cameras:

The pop-up flash has two legs. Look at the pivot point of the right leg (”right” when looking into the lens). Just in front of the pivot is a very small spring-load pin on the “roof” of the camera body.

This pin is the sensor that tells the camera the state of the flash. The pin is pushed down when the pop-up flash is closed and is suppose to quickly spring up when the flash is opened. Problem is, the pin sometimes gets dirty and drags. When it is slow to spring up … you get the err05 message.

Fix: Take a small jeweler’s screwdriver and dip the tip in isopropyl alcohol. (Don’t use any other solvent unless it’s designed for cleaning electronic parts!!!) Then touch the screwdriver tip to the pin. Do this several times until the pin area is nicely wet. Then push the pin up and down until it is able to spring up quickly.

Enjoy!

hi,
it seems that all the xti’s got this problem,
so far i’ve been using this camera for 11month and one other problem i’m facing (and i think this prob. is with all the dSLR cameras) is focus lock — sometimes it just keep focusing in and out but not locking it at auto focus mode, it usually happens when their is little or not light to lock on. I’m sure u’ve also experience this problem.

Canon the entry level DSLR400D is very good camera for the beginers also for semi pro.but the main problem is image quality with the 18-55 supplied zoom will give little soft pictures.in all other aspect canon400 is superb go for it and buy L series lens
