Pro 1 error code AE-6

howdy all, I'm looking for info on a error code (AE-6) I now have after using the bracketing mode on my pro 1. the bracketing mode no longer works, and it shows this code AE-6 in the display panel. the camera works fine in the other modes it seems. I have tried: new battery, battery out over night, new memory, standing on one leg while switching to the bracketing mode, it's gone. and I miss it! thanks for your time. best regards

the pro1 has a small battery in it which holds the date etc- have you removed this too....

thanks for the heads up about the small battery. i pulled the battery out, and cleaned it, then reinstalled it and set the date. then tried the bracketing mode. viola! it's working again! but i noticed the error code AE-6 was still in the display panel?? so i read the manual more slowly, and find that the AE-6 is not a error code. i made that assumption when the bracketing stopped working, and i started trouble shooting looking for the problem. AE-6 is the camera letting me know it's been set to the bracketing mode i'm going to replace the Battery, and hope for the best. and yes, read the manual more closely. thanks again. best regards

Hi dustyboots welcome to the forum

I am glad you solved the problem with just a new CR2016 lithium battery thanks to the etaf's tip. It is a remainder to change my own date battery that is still the factory installed one.

About the display code, it is not a number six, it is a letter B after AEB or Auto Exposure Bracketing.
In the display panel an uppercase B resembles an eight and the lowercase b resembles a six. Either way, it is prone to confusion.
By the way the display is FC-b for focus bracketing and AE-b for Auto Exposure Bracketing as you already noted.

I usually check the symbols in the viewfinder or LCD, very seldom in the display panel.
