Canon recalls some EOS R10 bodies over “loud noises”

Canon has issued a recall over some Canon EOS R10 (buy here) bodies. Canon hasn’t said much about the issue except to say that some users have experienced a “loud noise” when the built-in popup flash fires. They describe it as a “bachi” sound – whatever that means. Update: Canon USA’s announcement clarifies this as a “crackling” sound.

Despite the service notice being posted to the Canon Japan website, this doesn’t only affect EOS R10 cameras sold in Japan. It appears to be a global issue, as a notification has also popped up on the Canon USA website since I started writing this post. The serial number checker also exists on Canon’s global website, not a regional one.

Canon Australia issues recall on Canon EOS R5c bodies due to autofocus problems

Canon Australia has issued a recall for early shipments of the video-centric Canon EOS R5c mirrorless cinema camera. According to the recall, this is due to a manufacturing defect in the autofocus system whereby the camera will excessively hunt to find focus in movie mode. Canon Australia does say that this only affects “selected units of the EOS R5 C digital cinema camera”.

They say that only “a very small number of units” are affected by the issue and that the recall is specifically for those who received their units on or before March 21st, 2022. So, it sounds like it’s just a very small batch and apparently, a batch that only made it to Australia which has the problem as far as we can tell. Canon Australia is asking that affected customers return their cameras to be replaced with a new one.

16 years since after its release, Nikon is recalling some F6 35mm SLR bodies

It’s easy to forget that Nikon still actually has a 35mm film SLR in its current lineup. That camera is the Nikon F6. Released in 2004, it was Nikon’s final flagship in their 35mm SLR lineup, so it’s no surprise that they haven’t quite been able to let it go just yet, despite the fact that their DSLRs are starting to be made obsolete by their new mirrorless releases.

Well, now, Nikon Japan has announced that they’re recalling some of their F6 bodies over excessive levels of dibutyl phthalate (DBP) contained within certain parts of the camera. These levels put it outside of the values set by the European Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) Directive. Don’t worry, though, it only affects 152 F6 units.

A couple of months ago, Apple announced a recall for a “limited number” of 15-inch Retina MacBook Pro laptops sold between 2015 and 2017. This was due to the fact that “the battery may overheat and pose a fire safety risk”. If you own one, you can enter your serial number into this page to check if yours is affected by the recall.

If you’re not bothered about checking, don’t worry, the FAA is enforcing it for you, should you attempt to fly with it. They have alerted major U.S. airlines about the recall, and they’re banning the affected MacBooks from flights, reminding airlines to follow 2016 safety instructions for goods with recalled batteries, Bloomberg reports.

Fujifilm has issued a recall notice for about 300,000 of their power adapters because of “shock hazard.” Certain AC-5VF wall plugs may “crack, break or detach and remain in the outlet,” which can expose live electrical contacts. The issue hits the adapters that came with six camera models with certain serial numbers. As Fujifilm warns, if your camera came with one of these adapters, you should stop using the wall plug immediately.

After two recall notices of Nikon D750, the company is now expanding the recall to include the cameras manufactured in 2016.

In July 2015 and with an update in February 2016, Nikon announced that the shutter in some Nikon D750 cameras had malfunctions. This included the cameras manufactured between October 2014 and June 2015. However, now it seems that the shutter malfunction affects the newer cameras as well, and the period covers those produced over a period longer than a year.
