M50 Ghost Touching Problem?
1

I got my M50 in 2018 and I love it but over the last year, it's caused me such a headache.

I mainly use it for YouTube videos where I'm in front of a blank background. When I turn the camera on, 3 things happen:

1) the camera automatically starts clicking and taking photos. As if someone is touching the touch screen. I don't really care about this because when I start recording, it stops...however

2) When I'm recording, you can see that the automatic view finder moves around like crazy... as if it's detecting a bunch of faces around me... when the background is empty. I know I can switch to manual, but theres 2 issues with that... 1 is that no matter how IN FOCUS I think the manual is, it literally always turns out blurry... and the second is...

3) Most of the time the touch screen isn't even clickable? or touchable? I'll try to press manual focus, and I literally cannot. The touch screen will not register it. I have to turn the camera off and wait like 5 minutes before trying again and its literally luck of the draw. Because of this I cant even change the aperture or anything.

Can someone help me out? I checked and all my software is up to date... so I'm literally at a loss right now!
