How to do a hard reset

So you’ve been given a Canon camera, excited to start shooting pictures like a pro. But then you find out that the buttons don’t work, and the menus are all gibberish. This is where a hard reset comes in handy – it restores your camera to the factory default settings, ready for you to start again from scratch.

To perform a hard reset on your Canon camera, first turn it off. Next, hold down the Power button and the Menu/Set button simultaneously for about 10 seconds. (If you’re having trouble resetting your camera, try holding down the Power button for a longer period of time, or try a different reset method.) When the camera beeps, release the Power button and the Menu/Set button. The camera should now reboot and be in the default mode.

There are a few things to keep in mind when performing a hard reset on your camera. First, make sure you have the latest firmware installed. (For more information, check out our Canon firmware guide.) Secondly, make sure your memory cards are formatted in the correct format – the camera won’t be able to read any old pictures. Finally, make sure any cords you’re using are properly plugged in – a hard reset can damage your camera if it’s not done correctly.

So there you have it – a detailed guide on how to perform a hard reset on your Canon camera. Just remember to backup your pictures first, and have fun shooting!

How to restore your settings

There are a few methods to reset a Canon Camera to factory defaults.

1. Power off the camera and remove the battery.

  1. Wait 10 seconds and re-insert the battery.
  2. Press the Menu button and select the ‘Setup’ option.

How to fix your camera

Assuming you have a functioning camera, the first thing you’ll need is some sort of Phillips head screwdriver. The camera has a few screws around the edge which need to be unscrewed in order to pull out the battery, memory card, and lens.

Once the screws are out, hold down the power button and unscrew the lens mount. This will release the lens from the camera body. Now, you can gently push the lens back and forth until it pops out of the camera body.

Next, unscrew the focus ring around the lens. This will allow you to remove the lens from the camera body.

Finally, unscrew the camera body from the lens. Be sure to reverse the order you removed the screws in, in order to put it all back together the right way.

Conclusion

If your Canon camera is not behaving as you would like it to, resetting the camera to factory settings may help. This process is manual and requires a few steps, but it can restore your camera to its original settings and make it work correctly again. If your camera is not responding as you expect it to, resetting it to factory settings may be the best solution.

I started with a very basic DSLR camera, and after several years of experimentation with its manual settings, I finally made the jump to single-lens reflex (SLR) cameras.
