Thanks, everyone, for the great welcome!
Par4D--that's where I live!
Thanks, Jethro. I'm out of town with only this lens, but will try that on Friday when home and let you know.
Have had the 70D with a Tamron 18-270, F3.5-6.3 since December. Just started messing around with the video.
While taking video, it stops recording, and I get this message:
Ensure a lens is attached
Press start/stop button to
activate movie shooting
This can happen after a few seconds or after a few minutes. Very frustrating since I have the lens on the camera!
I called Canon and was told that the connections where the lens meets the camera probably need to be cleaned with a soft lens cloth. (There are about 7 what look like brass connectors.) I did that while on the phone with him, then recorded for about 5 minutes with him on the phone, and no problem. Well, you know the rest. As soon as I hung up, I got the error message.
So I cleaned them again, set the camera down in one spot, and no problem for 10 minutes. But when I picked it up, I got the message. Seems when moving the camera, it looses connection.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Been reading this forum for about a month now, and boy, what information!
Jumped up from a P&S in December with a Canon 70D with a Tamron 18-270 F3.5-6.3. Big learning curve, but seem to learn something everyday.
Live on the West Coast of Florida, between St. Pete and Sarasota.
I just incurred a major problem with video, but will post that in a different section.
Glad to be an official Hog! :-D
