Thankyou very much.

I had seen that line in the log aswell and was guessing it was hardware, but like you said I wanted to make sure it wasn't software.

Ran the script and it still doesn't work, so thankyou for your help!

Thanks for your response a1ex.

I have spent about half a day going through other forum posts and anything I could find on resolving the Error 70, so didn't want to re-start the thread and ask someone to re-diagnose yet another one. A bit more background for you:

I first noticed the error when I pulled the camera out of its bag about 8 months ago after it hadn't been used for over a month, so Unfortunately I can't say I know what I did immediately before getting the error. I believe it was probably a photo of my family where I used the "Audio Shot" feature.

Its a Canon EOS 550D

Error Characteristics:
The error only occurs when the shutter moves (and I assume the sensor powers up). IE. When trying to go into live-view mode, taking a picture. The Characteristics remain constant across all the different modes of the camera.

I have tried clearing the cameras settings from the built in menu item, Clearing custom functions, Uninstalling and re-installing ML, Reinstalling Canon's 1.0.9 firmware Clearing ML's Settings, different SD cards, No SD Card, Leaving the battery out for a while, and numerous combinations of the above. Error characteristics have remained consistent throughout.

Hello,
I am trying to figure out how to call the FA_SetDefaultSetting command in an attempt to recover from an error 70. I'm guessing it is a hardware issue, but I want to at least try a complete factory reset in order to rule out an invalid setting.

I can't figure out where or how to input the command to the camera or config files.

Thanks
