    Default Dam a Camera Fault

    Well I have had my first ever canon camera fault.
    The Jog wheel behind the shutter button has stopped working. Urghhhh

    Just when I have some enforced time off to get out and about the camera faults, it must be Karma.

    BTW EOS 60D
    Canon 60D, 1000D, 450D. | Sigma 135-400 f4.5/5.6, Tamron 18-200 f3.6/6.3 DG, Canon EF 70-210 f4, Canon EF 50mm f1.8 II, Sigma 17-70 f2.8/4 OS HSM | Canon i9950 A3+ Printer | Yongnu 580ex Flash, Sigma 500 Flash Yongnu 622 Photo Triggers | Cam Ranger WiFi Remote Control and lots of other goodies

    Give an Artist a box of different sized colour blocks and he will create an art work; give me the same box and I will sort it by colour and then size :)

    Do you have a grip on the body?, if so, take it off & try without. If it works, clean the contacts on the grip & in the battery compartment.

    Failing that, seeing its are reasonably new body, probably warranty claim.

    Good tip will try without the grip and see what happens. Yep warranty, but it wont be an overnight fix if the wheel has failed.

    You've probably not done this but is the unit switched on properly? The canons usually have two settings. The first setting switches the camera on but disables some of the rear buttons.

    Yep your right works when I remove the grip. Now to work out how to clean the contacts at the top of the battery compartment, the grip contacts have been cleaned but no change.
    Well at least my faith in Canon quality continues, it is not a camera fault
