What does this fault mean......

[Wailin]

Hi,

 

While trying to image last night with my Canon 450D through Backyard eos version 2.0.9 I kept getting the following fault when trying to start the imaging session (Camera was connected):

 

ERROR EDS_TAKE_PICTURE_AF_NG:EDSDK.EdsSendCommand(CameraRef,2,0)

 

I have used the 450D with this version for years without issue, only difference last night was using a Canon 70-200mm lens instead of my normal 80mm scope. I had stabilisation and autofocus switched off on the lens.

What is the fault please?

It means you have your lens set to auto-focus and the lens is unable to focus, probably because the lens cap is on or it is too close to the object and can't focus.

 

Turn auto-focus off.

Please double check your auto focus setting.

 

The error "EDS_TAKE_PICTURE_AF_NG" is very specific and is an auto focus failure of the lens,

Great, thank you Guylain. Just checked and problem solved

You should really upgrade to BYE 3.1!
