Just what really causes error 99??
It is a pain in the neck for most canon users I know. Just what really causes it??

I think it means the shutter is blown
Error 99 is when the camera knows it has a problem, but doesn't know what the problem really is. It can be anything.

We're a Canon/Profoto family: five cameras, sixteen lenses, fifteen Profoto lights, too many modifiers.
One reoccuring Err 99 code I have rec'd is when shooting in extremely cold weather (below specified operating parameters) such as 15 degrees F. I have rec'd this code several times when shooting in cold weather, but keep the camera warmand it goes away. As others have said, it just seems to be a generic error code used for an otherwise unspecified problem.For me, it has been easily corrected with a simple power off/on. But I have read that others have had much more serious issues that require the camera to be sent to Canon.
