Canon eos-m. I cleaned sensor. Camera died

Thank you for your reply. Yes, what you say is right, but it was not the reason camera died. It died because of Canon bug. When I choose option clean sensor, bang. Camera did shut off.

Your problem is not a "Canon bug".  Countless people have used the sensor clean function on the EOS M without any issues.  Whatever actually did fail on your camera just happened to coincide with your triggering of the sensor clean function.  The camera could have just as easily died 5 minutes later when trying to take a photo.  I personally have a dead M.   It was working when I put it in a drawer.  A few months later when I pulled it out it won't even turn on.  It died peacefully in its sleep.

I have 2 more eos-m that are still strong. One has very little use. The one was the one I used regularly for 10 years.

I took picture one minute ago.

In the midle the one kaput. In the extremes 2 working flawlessly.

So it was not problem of lubricants. Corrosion maybe..., maybe that's why camera had heart attack when I pressed that setting.

When I bought them they were 380 bucks,each. That's why I bought 3.

They are much cheaper than that now.
