hahahaha so funny!! you making jokes on other solutions like "don´t put the lense on completely" and so on - but your "solution" is SHAKING around and that´s it?? oh man.. YT is so full of crap ..
As explained in the video, I mailed my 24-105 in to have the cable repaired and it has worked flawlessly ever since. No idea what video you watched but… try again?
This is the most common sense video I’ve seen on this subject. A simple answer. Perfect. I just got finished watching a video where the dude suggested putting electrical tape over the lens contacts 🤷🏻♂️
My lens came back from service in better than new condition. The micro focus was better adjusted and it doesn't "zoom" from the weight of the lens when I tilt it forward any more. I had both of those problems when it was new out of the box.
This is Awesome Thanks a lot for this. My lens worked after just shaking it up. I don't want it to fail at an important time either. Can you tell me how much it cost to get this back from service?
I have actually used the tutorial of taking the lens off, taking a photo with flash, putting the lens on halfway firing it again with flash and then screwing it on all the way and firing it again with flash and it completely fixed two of my Canon lenses. Been over a year and not once have i gotten the Error 1 message again. I had to do it several times, but it did work very well.
this is exactly how my 24-105 + 70D functions. completely normal @ 24mm, zoom at all and get the err01 message and the jamming motor sound inside the lens. zoom back to 24mm and it goes back to normal. you don't even have to turn it off or take the battery out, the error message just goes away
Finally something different than useful although I haven't tested yet I'll text you when I get home I've done everything else I could think of trying to clean the contacts but they look fine I'm probably going to eventually open mine up because I'm not spending 80 some bucks to fix a kit 300mm zoom lens
@@thisisawesome3501 not a fight, but how do you explain my situation all my lenses are working fine on other cameras but on one camera i get the Err 01, there is no way my lenses are faulty yet they are working fine on other cameras, so am ruling out a fault on the camera that has this issue
My 6d has been doing this, but only with 2 of my lenses (canon 50 1.4 and tamron 28-75) but my canon 100 mm 2.8 L lens works fine. Any thoughts? The two lenses that dont work now used to work and then all of a sudden stopped.
I had the same problem and although it seemed to right itself, it wasn’t long before the problem returned. I delivered the lens to Canon and they confirmed the fault by connecting the lens to another camera. I was there at the time. The fix cost me CA$450/£250. Took a couple of days only.
yeah but my lenses work fine on another camera so its not just the lens
Dont know if you-ll see this as it-s August 2020..But shit..It worked for me too!!! You just saved me about 200 bucks!!
haha I'm so glad you found it helpful! Thanks for the note. :-) Cheers!

It worked; it looks like I will be sending my lens off for repairs.

"taking photo with flash" means autofocus is disabled and its on manual mode right?
I have fixed the same problem of my 24-105 on 5DII after shaking. Thanks for your sharing.
Hi Edmund, I'm happy to know that this video was helpful! Thank you for the kind comment and have a great day!

My Sigma 28-200mm is giving this error on my
7Dii, but it works fine on my T3i. What gives??
So just send it to be repaired,it’s not a fix
No. i have several cameras and lenses..am getting this problem on only one camera..so my problem is the camera and not the lens
Nope. You're wrong. If it is a fight you want, it is a fight you shall get! You're welcome.

@@tsunamidigital5431 what?
Thanks man, work in T7i. Hero!!!
Worked for me with 70D
That makes sense to me because I took my lens apart repaired the focus ring. Gonna try opening it again 👍🏽
Interesting! I’m glad the video helped. 🙂

Sorry I don't know it sounds like there is something wrong with your 6D camera, rather than the lenses.
Thanks dude... It works for me :)
Worked perfectly. Thanks!

Ok
Thanks man I'll give it a go
Did you send your lens in for service?
Shaking it sure as hell does NOTHING.
Brian Kane are you saying that it did work? Or it didn't? Did anything happen after you shook the lens?
None of the assembled "cures" I tried was 100% successful, the "shake the camera" LEAST successful. I doubt it'll be a see a professional job.
:¬(
Not a thing. I'm beginning to suspect the camera more than lens. The problem is NOT consistent, but manifests itself with both lenses.
Wow. This was really helpful. Thanks for the quick solution and information on how to fully fix it.
Cheers! +Roy Lichenstein glad you found this tip useful :-)
