Title: Disabling modules load, the camera did not shut down properly
Post by: goran on April 18, 2015, 06:03:21 AM
Hello all,

I'm using 5dmkiii 1.2.3 with the latest nightly build (29th March 2015). I upgraded yesterday.
After taking some test shots, I turned the camera off and took out the CF to download the footage. After putting the CF back into the camera and turning it back on I got a message along these lines (cannot remember the exact message): "Disabling modules load, the camera didn't shut down properly/Camera shut down ugly, disabling modules loading"
I turned the camera off and back on and everything is working fine, I was just wondering what's going on and what has happened? This is the first time I'm seeing this message in more than a year of ML usage and nothing has changed in a way I'm turning my camera on or off :)

Thank you,
Goran

Just a protection mechanism.

Hi

I realize it's a protection mechanism but I'm wondering what might have gone wrong in the way camera shut down?

Thank you,
Goran

You might have removed the card to early.  Wait 5 seconds or so after power off before opening the card door.

Cool thanks!
I thought it applies only to 5dmkii.

All best,
Goran
