My Canon 40D is coming up with the following message every time I press the shutter.
"Error 01. Communications between the camera and lens is faulty. Clean the lens contacts"
The lens is an EFS 17-85mm f/4-5.6 IS USM.
Both the camera body and lens are in mint condition.
Previously I could get the shutter to fire by switching off and back on, but not now. Removing the lens, the contacts are spotlessly clean as are the corresponding ones in the camera body.
Could the fault lie elsewhere? Anyone else had experience of such an error message and what if anything did they do to remedy the problem?
I could take it to Campkins in Cambridge but they stung me for £58 to tighten a camera mount on an older SLR.
Any suggestions gratefully recieved.
