"Busy... Please wait." Every time I take a photo

angelicaamora11 — Sat, 22 Sep 2018 01:56:11 GMT

My canon 750D is keep going like this. Sometimes it takes photos often it goes Busy for the longest time that I would have to take the battery out to stop it. I tried other SD cards, I even bought a fater one but still no luck. Recording video is not a problem even it is 8minutes long. Please help 😞 I'm getting tired with this.

When was the last time you formatted the card?

I tried every basic troubleshoots, this has been happening for a week now. I formatted the card like always and clear the settings multiple times. Even taking out the battery, SD card and lens then reinserting it again. Sometimes it works often it doesn't. Sigh

I suggest a new memory card. Be sure to only use a full size card, not a microSD card with an adapter. Use the camera to perform a low level format on the card before you use it, too.

You can also try shutting off High ISO Noise Reduction, Lighting Optimizer, Lens Correction, etc. Shoot as RAW, too.

What exactly does that mean? Did you try to reformat the cards in the camera? How much available light do you have? Are shooting with a flash? Indoors or outdoors?

Help someone to help you. Describe what you are doing so that someone else can try to reproduce the issue.

What brand, size, and type of card are you using? Many cards are “too much card” for the camera, and cause degraded performance. Try resetting the camera

Try to shoot as RAW files. Shooting JPEG can require more image processing by the CPU, Try to disable all of the in camera image processing, too.. You may have to use P shooting mode in order to do this.

I apologize for my vague replies. The SD cards that I'm using are kingston 16gb class 10 (no mbs written) and Transcend 32gb class 10 90mbs.

I was shooting in JPEG because I thought it would require less image processing, and I disabled as much enable settings there.

I will try to shoot with this for a whole day to check if it at least improves.

Again, sorry for my replies. I have explained it a thousand times to other websites and groups that I don't know where to start again. Thank you for your time I really appreciate it. :))

I'll get back to you with the results.

I was wondering what speed your SD card is. I don't use any card that is not a C10, they're just too slow.

The Kingston and Transcend brands are not brands that I would recommend. Try a Sandisk or Lexar full size card. I use Sandisk Extreme 32GB card.

Be sure to always low level format any new memory card in the camera prior to first use.

I don't know much on what to look for on a SD cards

all i know is: should be class 10, atleast 90mb (that's what the other people said) and 32gb atleast is better.

I just recently knew about reformating the new SD card before using, which is sadly I haven't done when I bought a new one. 😞

noob question. why do you need to do that thoough?

New cards are not fully formatted. And, there are different ways to format the storage space.

This crazy thing happen is that my 750D often freezes to "Busy... Please wait." (Only in photos) That I need to take my battery out to stop it. That has been happening for 2 and a half weeks and I'm really frustrated because I would need to get it repaired which will cost me a lot.

Then yesterday when I was putting my card in, something was blocking it, a very small screw that I'm sure it's from inside the body hanging out of the SD card slot. But the busy problem still won't stop and I haven't bring it to a repair shop to have it checked. Do you think it's because of the loose screw??

Just to make things clear, I did took off the screw, it just fell off when I turned it upside down out of the slot.
