Hello everyone, I have a couple T90s and one of them it keeps showing me "EEE" everytime I take a picture does anyone knows how to fix this? Or do I need to take it to a camera repair place?

Please look at the photos.

I take you all for taking the time.

1986 model camera, parts will be hard to find and repairs expensive. If you intend to keep shooting film you still have one working.
Are you interested in digital? An equivalent digital model from the EF line would probably be less money. Especially since the EFs are moving over for the RFs.

There are thousands of good EF bodies and lenses available used in VG to EX condition. Maybe even from someone here on the Hog. I for one am considering selling 1 or 2 of my EFs, probably my 80D or 90D, both are crop sensor but excellent sensors in them. In addition I have an even older 6D full frame, simple but takes excellent images. It is still rated among the good low light cameras - trying to do a full moon shot of a tree line with the trees all black it actually tried to do the scene in full color, dim and muddy colors, but they were there. I also have a 5Div full frame (=35mm size sensor) and 7DII crop sensor bird/wildlife/action camera.

Hmm, I am almost deciding to offer you one of those if you want it. I would have to look up the values of the bodies and some of the lenses I have. I started using RF bodies with the kit lens and an adaptor for all my EF lenses but then I bought RF lenses in my favorite sizes so I have 5 or 6 EF lenses in additon to the kit lenses for each body that I would consider parting with.

Did you ask at a Canon film blog? I don't know the name of one but I am sure there is problem a Canon film group out there. Also have you simply googled the problem: Canon T-90 EEE . I have three of them, but it has been awhile since I have used one. I can remember having that problem and I think the procedure involved holding down the "battery check button" but don't hold me to that. I enjoyed using the T-90s. Good Luck

It is usually caused by the lens set in auto, the camera cannot see the r stop , does the camera work in manual mode ??? . If you had an older lens that does not have electrical connections , see if that work .

I don't think the Canon FD lenses have any electrical connections.

A simple google: google canon t90 eee error

takes you to numerous website discussions and multiple 'how to' videos to attempt a repair.

As noted already, theses cameras are likely easier (cheaper) to replace than to repair. Other ideas include changing to another FD-capable film body, although few have as much automated capabilities as the T90. But, for manual focus, the F-1 models are built like tanks and never seem to fail.

Personally, I gave up on manual focus film shooting, selling my MF bodies and keeping the FD lenses for use on a digital mirrorless Sony body, via an FD adapter. These MF lenses are way more fun to shoot on digital mirrorless. With the enabling mirrorless technologies, the lenses are much easier to use, delivering superior results to anything I ever achieved in film via MF.

I have a T90 body that was dropped and will not focus. But it powered on ok. If you need a parts camera this might work. You could have it for shipping.

spin the dial from the "A" stop 2 the last F stop # & the EEE should go away

FD cameras and lenses do not involve electrical connections, just lever arms.

Sometimes the arms get out of proper positions, usually caused by hurriedly interchanging lenses.

There is nothing fragile involved so its prefectly safe to reposition the arms by pushing them with your fingers.
