Reset my Rebel T6 to factory settings

jesbroken — Wed, 03 May 2023 22:21:13 GMT

I am trying to reset my Rebel T6 to original factory settings and I go to MENU, then 3rd Wrench and where it should say "Clear Settings" it does not exist, only WIFI enable/disable. Any help as to what I'm doing wrong? Sorry for the poor photo.

The camera can only be factory reset in the creative ie (M, Av, Tv & P) modes. Full Auto and other Basic Zone settings do not show the whole menu system.

Thank you. You are correct of course. Now it says Busy...Please Wait. Is this normal?

Does the camera just continue saying busy.

Yes, 5-6 times for the last 15 minutes.

So you're saying when you set "restore to factory" the camera stays stuck saying "busy".

Removed memory card 1st, same result. Then removed lens, same result. Here is a photo of what it says, "Busy...Please Wait" Sorry for blurry photo, I tried many times, but I only have 1/2 second before it blinks off.

Have you tried resetting the camera with both of them removed. Why exactly do you need to reset the camera.

Yes, both removed with same "Busy". I bought this camera and then purchased an EF 100mm f2.8 Macro lens. I could not get it to work and spent months taking classes, asking for help and still no luck. Finally found out the lens was defective, an internal switch was broken, but by this time I had probably pressed every button on the camera at least 3 times and it was so messed up, I couldn't even take a photo with the regular lens. So, I've bought a new Macro lens and before I even put it on, I would like to reset the camera so I could at least start out correctly. Thank you for your help.

If you can't take a picture with your kit lens or any lens attached. It sounds like your camera is defective and needs repair or replacement.
