No, not normal, I think there is a SETTING for SD check

I have an old T1i that I really like, but it has a peculiarity: The camera will not power on unless there is an SD card installed. Is that normal for the T1i?

Also, the SD card release is a bit finicky.

I had 3 Canon T1i over the years.  Its a good camera, probably the Lowest Canon DSLR I'm willing to tolerate.  As for the SD card issue, I think there is a SITTING for it.

1. Try CLEAR ALL SETTING under Red Menu

this should remove the SD check.  Anyhoot, I forgot what its call but its a setting feature to prevent absent minded people from shooting without inserting a SD card.
