Solve Hard-to-Troubleshoot Temperature Related Problems
With the Temperature Plugin, you can:
- Check and Test Key Sensors; on the EF Unit, Shutter, Memory Card Unit, and AF Unit.
- Eliminate guesswork when diagnosing temperature sensor issues.
- Quickly identify the source of temperature-related problems.
- Save time and minimize frustration during repairs.
Here are a few temperature-related issues
- Soft focus on hot days – Caused by changes in Lens Flange/CMOS distance.
- Random overexposure or underexposure – Due to fluctuations in AE current.
- Dark images at high shutter speeds – Resulting from Shutter temperature changes.
- Flash malfunctions – Triggered by temperature shifts in the EF unit.
