IQ4 150mp "CamIf: Capture Abort" Have you seen this?

[Yankov]

Dear all,

I have been having a few times seeing "CamIf: Capture Abort" on the back screen while shooing. Not necessarily fast. I will have to reboot the camera and back before I can shoot again.

Any thoughts?

Hi
Make sure latest firmware has been installed.
If persist, contact support and include log files from when error happen from the camera back.

If you are trying to use the ES but have not turned on the ES on the back (or vice-versa), I think you can get this error. Be sure the ES/LS/FPS is properly set.

I get this (I think) when I use the back on a technical camera and the delay between pushing the wake-up button on the cable between the lens and the back and firing the shutter on the lens is too great. I just press on the "X" symbol and have another go.

Yeah, seeing it there as well. Also tends to come up when I'm in ES mode (particularly in ES and IIQ16EX) and fire the mechanical shutter.

Would be nice to have a more useful error message, but then again, the TwoShoot error text on the P/IQ1 backs wasn't exactly intuitive to the uninitiated either!

[mkphotomedia]

On a tech cam, L16EX mode is way more likely to produce this when shooting with a mechanical shutter (and a Kapture Group cable) at speeds faster than about 1/30s, I've found. This may be a more fault of my mechanical shutter being on its last legs than anything else, admittedly.

(My Schneider 35 is in a Copal shutter that's seen its share of abuse and ought to be remounted, but I'm waiting for the shutterless Cambo mounts to get less frustratingly expensive and for ES flash sync to get just a little better before pulling the trigger on that.)

Dear all,

I have not been using the IQ4 on any technical camera, but only the XF. But I have been seeing the CamIf quite a number of times already.

I've just started to see this issue arise, no idea why. Happens on the XF and my Alpa, so not a camera related issue.

I've got Teamwork working on the issue, so hopefully it'll be resolved soon. Tired of my system letting me down on shoots!
It doesn't look good when your client is stood next to you and you're missing the light or action due to kit failure!!!

Same here, happens just like that, then the IQ4 sometimes powers down and up on its own, then triggers the flash and all is back to normal, carry on ....

very strange

Hi
This is a quite old thread. Most was resolved through firmware upgrades.
