Canon EOS M5: Card reader doesn’t recognize the card

Mon, 27 Feb 2023 18:49:18 -0700

Why doesn’t my camera recognize the SanDisk card? I put a card in and it says no card in camera. Tried a dozen cards. I did put a broken card in and cleaned it out and got a piece out but still doesn’t recognize a card

Canon EOS M5: Why is my camera shutting down and screen turning on and off

Thu, 09 Mar 2023 00:00:26 -0700

My Canon M50 has been turning off all together. I fully charge all my batteries and the SD cards I have I’ve used with the camera before. It will record up to about 15 minutes and then shut off and the video doesn’t save. I had to record the first half of my video 3 times because the first time I thought it was just the battery. My camera is set to record up to 30 minutes now that time is cut in half. Also the screen keeps blinking on and off, making it impossible to use as a touch screen. And all together. I think my camera just might be broken? But if anyone could help I would appreciate it.

Canon EOS M5: Camera only makes some internal noise and green blinking light

Tue, 01 Apr 2025 07:04:23 -0700

Camera makes some light internal noise when turned on, responds to some buttons with a green blinking light but doesnt show up on capture card, screen doesnt work and isnt recognized on usb either. I've tried new battery and resetting the internal CMOS, nothing works.

Are there any common hardware defects on these I should take a look at such as defective PWMIC?

Canon EOS M5: Intermittent ON/OFF switch operation.

Occasionally, it appears that the ON/OFF switch is not making good contact. The camera switches on and off, just applying a bit of upward pressure on the switch lever.

Canon EOS M5: EOS M5 - No response from any menu

18 months old, has been working well. This morning changed ISO and from then it's impossible to change any settings. Can still take photos on current settings but can't change settings on camera. Have tried taking battery out for 5 minutes and reinserting but no change to the problem.
