We got hit with it while traveling in Greece. Cameras never fail in the closet you know. Turns out the culprit was a Sigma 35-200mm lens whose electronics had given up the ghost.
The error appears intermittently which is maddening since it make diagnosis difficult. Sometimes it was "cured" for a moment by shutting off the camera and turning it back on. Other times this was a fools errand and didn't work.
I tried the lens on another body and sure enough, it produced the error, so back to Sigma went the lens. It cost around $100 to fix, so be prepared for that. Other web posts had said that the repairs were pro-bono, but that was not my case.

Shot with my Sigma 18-200mm in Santorini Greece. Shot in Fira looking toward Oia. I was literally sick as a dog but had to get the shot. Click here to see more of Greece.
