canon digital camera error 99 image
Houynhnm
Doesn't have the kit lens, but a Sigma 28-300 AF lens. Worked flawlessly till about a month ago, when it started giving Error 99. I googled and learned about some body/lens compatibility issues. One of the suggested solutions was to clean lens contacts, which I did. But now it's overexposing severely in the sun, in several modes. I don't have reliable Canon service where I live, so am rather desperate to find out what could be wrong, and what I could do. Thank you for your sharing.
Answer
Check your settings. Are you on Manual, Program, Shutter Priority, Aperture Priority... if you set it on Program (if it's not on it already) you will probably find this will fix it. If not.... what white balance are you set on? What ISO? In direct sunlight you probably want to be around ISO 200 or 400... if you're around 1000 or higher this could cause your camera to over expose your images.
I think I've seen that same error at some point and I want to say it was caused by somehow "unlocking" the lens from the mount so the contacts weren't securely touching.
3rd party lenses like Sigma, Tamron, etc. have to reverse engineer their lenses to try to get them to work with Canon and Nikon lenses and they don't always work the way they are supposed to, but usually do.
Good luck!

How do I dry out a camera lens that got wet?

There are small water droplets on the elements sealed inside the lens.

I'm a real beginner and the Canon digital rebel is my first DSLR. I'd been having fun with it until a recent holiday where I got caught in the rain with my camera and it got wet. I dried it out thoroughly and downloaded the photo's I'd taken. Since then it has been coming up with an Error 99 message. First it displays the setting for the last photo I took, then the error message. Nothing happens when I press the shutter. I have tried the recommended tricks of cleaning the battery connectors as well as those for the lens, but to no avail. Can anyone help?

There's not much you can do. If you've cleaned the battery and lens contacts properly, that's about all you can do.
What happens if you don't have a lens attached? If you still get a 99 error it can't be the lens contacts and it's very unlikely to be battery contacts.
At that point, all you can do is send it in for repair. Water damage isn't covered by the warranty I'm afraid.

This might be totally obvious...but take out the battery, keep the battery door open, remove memory card, keep that door open, take off the lens, etc, etc, etc, and don't touch it for a week.
It might be useless, but maybe it just needs a LONG time to dry out.
yes, you will get dust in, but it's worth a soht.
I'm assuming that you were not in the regions of the world where saltwater falls from the sky... :-)
I remember once when a friend and I were at a beach in Cuba, hanging out in knee high water. She tripped and fell and her Nikon was submerged for a short time. Never made it back to normal, I'm afraid :-(
