5d Mark iii LCD Display looks strange

HBHammer

I have a 5D Mark iii and the LCD screen displays images that are almos cartoon-like or abstract after taking a picture or during playback. The pictures on the memory card are perfect though. Has anyone seen or heard of this before?

Thank you in advance.

Do you have the highlight/shadow warning turned on?

I found it and it was set to on but after changing it to disable I still have the same problem.IMG_2379.jpg

Here is the same image but reading from the SD card on my computer.IMG_2380.jpg

I’m not sure, where do I check to see if it’s on?
Thank you

When something appears to be messed up but you don't recall changing any setting... it's a good idea to reset the camera back to factory defaults and test it after the reset. 

 

If it's *still* showing wonky images, then there may be a problem and the camera might require service.  Often (but not always), the "reset" clears the issue.

I already reset it, I guess a trip to canon is in my near future.

Thank you

You didn't reset it completely if the grid pattern is still displayed.

Its been reset 3x, grid is there because I keep playing with the settings. I guess of all the things that can be wrong having to buy a new display isn't the worst.
