yujh Posted January 30, 2022 Share #1 Posted January 30, 2022 (edited) Advertisement (gone after registration) I have seen this phenomenon on my new M11... from a cold start (battery removed then installed, followed by a power on), the LCD will not turn on. Pressing any button (e.g., Play, FN, Menu, any direction pad buttons) does nothing. Once I finally take a photo, the image preview provides the image on the LCD... and then the Menu button functions like normal. Does anyone else see this phenomenon? Often times, from a cold start, the Menu button works just fine. But this bug happens occasionally enough for me to post here in this forum. Hopefully, this is a fixable bug in the bootup process... and not a faulty camera. Thank you! I'm running 1.2.1.0.

M11 for me Posted January 30, 2022 Share #2 Posted January 30, 2022 We never read about such a phenomenon being a bug. Taking out the battery is a normal process when you want access the card. However we should have a special thread listing the bugs. There are a few in my eyes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Presuming you updated that way. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
yujh Posted January 30, 2022 Author Share #4 Posted January 30, 2022 Yes. SD card reformatted. Installed properly. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
digitalfx Posted January 30, 2022 Share #5 Posted January 30, 2022 I have had a similar behavior when charging from USB-C. After a period of time when charging, the LCD will no longer come on nor will any buttons wake the camera until I remove the cable and restart the camera. This only occurs after at least 5-10 min of charging. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

hdmesa Posted May 19, 2022 Share #10 Posted May 19, 2022 (edited) There is always a startup delay until the rear button presses are recognized – it's the same delay it takes for the LCD to turn on when Live View is left on from the previous use of the camera. To illustrate the wait time needed before the buttons will work, leave Live View on when you turn off the camera. Turn the camera back on and notice how long it takes until the LCD turns on – it's quite a while. That's the same amount of time you have to wait until the rear buttons will work. If there is a bug, it's the fact that the LCD has to be ready to turn on before the button presses will be accepted. It should be possible for the camera to recognize the button presses and then activate their function once the camera is fully booted. Note that the slower your SD card, the longer the delay. Always use the fastest UHS-II cards that have write speeds close to the 300mb/sec read speed. Edited May 19, 2022 by hdmesa Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
