Canon 7D Bricked

[Bob Cook]

Hi,

Brand new member here after installing Magic Lantern today (1 April 2015). VERY impressed with the feature set.

After using and experimenting with the camera for several hours the camera 'blue screened'. And I thought this only happened with Windows software! (grin)

I notice that the battery level was down to around 15% and maybe that was the issue.

For the record, the error codes were:

*** STOP (98x000000aa, 8x1000af22, 8x ffff)

Hopefully, this is a battery issue. I have installed a fully charged battery now and so far so good.

On another note, I see that there is now a feature to monitor the audio whilst video recording. I have made up the adapter cable that goes from the RCA jacks to the  3.5 mm TRS jack for earphones and it works fine. However, when the Mini USB (Canon cable) plug is inserted in the camera the display stops. I assume this is the camera assuming that an external monitor has been connected. So, I hear the audio but can't see the video on the screen. Is this normal?

Regards,
Bob

The error message should tell some things you can do about it. Did you try any of them? What was the result?

Hi Alex,

There were some suggestions

1. Turn on DIGIC in live view. Did this. Error still occurred after this.
2. Can't remember now, but didn't make any sense at the time
3. Ditto

Regards,
Bob

I'm pretty sure that - with time - you will get the message.
