Re: Canon eos-m. I cleaned sensor. Camera died

Mr Novak did wrote :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".

It was too much coincidence that camera died exactly in the same second I choose that function.

Actually I did not saw sensor cleaning, as I should. In the moment I press clean sensor, instead of having notification that sensor was cleaning, camera shut off.

Untill them camera was working flawlessly as are their 2 sisters.

I guess it is conceivable there was electric discharge that somehow damaged electronic circuit or component.

Camera did not suffer impact prior to the event. Was not subject to moisture, no drop of water or even working in raining wet weather.

Yes camera was cheaper back them because Canon did a certain number of cameras. But demand was much weaker than expected, probably due to cell phones demands.

And the fellows at Canon just offload the cameras like crazy.

By that time a point and shoot was around 300,250. For barely more 120 a dslr was a bargain.

Thank you for your message.
