If the automatic sensor cleaning is enabled, it causes an error 70.

That is, the automation solution is put off.

But I do not know what is the reason behind it.

This is a memory card read/write error. First try to format the memory card. If the error continues after formatting (or the camera won't let you format the card), try a different memory card. If the error continues with a new card then you probably have an issue with the camera itself. Contact Canon for service. I hope this helps.

Hey everyone.

My error 70 let me shoot in auto, CA, C1, C2 and C3 on my Canon 7d mark I.

After realizing I need to somehow update my firmware and that you cant update firmware unless in settings P, Tv, Av, M or B Ifound that if I set the camera to video I could use P and update the firmware I had loaded onto a formatted memory card!

Hope this helps someone else!
