Help with Camera \"Error 84\" message

[Darryl]

I was shooting today with my D30.

Camera was set on "P" mode and I had a 70-200 Cannon 2.8 IS lens on. I rented it for a shoot tomorrow and was testing it out today. I was also shooting with the pop up flash for a fill effect. After about 20 images I started getting an "Error 84" message on my camera's top display panel. I can't find a listing in my D30 manual of error messages.

Anyone know what this message is or know a website that lists the cameras error messages?

Darryl,
This is Canon's description:

84 LENS COMMUNICATION
Description: This error occurs in the following conditions:
- Electronic communication with the lens cannot be established, after the EOS D30 is powered ON or when the shutter button is pressed halfway
- The lens diaphragm cannot be controlled during shutter release

Action: Clean the electronic contacts on the lens with a clean, soft, dry cloth and check the mount interface switch on the body's lens mount for dirt or other damage. If this does not solve the problem, try another Canon EF lens or have the EOS D30 examined by a qualified service technician.

The other codes are explained here: http://www.rogercavanagh.com/library/t02_d30_errcodes.htm.

Thanks Roger!
