This problem was described in KM internal material and in 7D / 5D service repair manuals (again for internal use only but we were lucky enough to have them circulating on the net. We didn't found any report of this issues with a100 cameras. It is my believe that soon or later most 7D bodies will start exhibiting this issue.Įarly production 5D samples are prone to this error as well but it seems that KM has at some production stage replaced camera parts responsible for this issue and that newer production batches of 5D bodies are safe in this regard. Also, this may happen only once in a while (one a month or so), every day you turn the camera for the first time or in more severe cases every time you turn your camera on.Īs far I know all 7D bodies have problematic parts build in and that makes all 7D bodies vulnerable to this problem. The issue will cause an underexposed (black frame) image recorded on your memory card.ĭepending on the severity of this issue, this will happen only at first shoot or you may experience this several times after which you will be able to use your camera normally.

When you turn your camera on and take the first shoot the camera will freeze. However, the minimum hold- ing period of performance parts for repairing digital still cameras is 8 years after termination of production.Since more and more 7D / 5D owners have experienced "First black frame" issue here is a little summary that can help in the future.įirst of all we need to say that this isn't confirmed officially as a design or production flaw, but the problem is documented in KM camera repair manuals and has started to be a serious "disease" of too many cameras to be considered just a sporadically issue.
