Can't review photos on R6 Mark II

TWP — Tue, 06 Aug 2024 17:25:23 GMT

Hello,

I was shooting a wedding on Saturday in very hot temps. Towards the end of the shoot, when I pressed the review button to look at the pics, nothing happened. I turned the camera off and on, pulled batteries, even switched batteries and nothing. I only had a few shots left so I just leaned back to the old film days and hoped I got the effect I was looking for. On the following Sunday I had another shoot in hot weather and about 15 shots in, the review issue started again! Thankfully I was also carrying my R6 and I finished the shoot with that and had no issues. Anyone experiencing this? I wouldn't even be able to send it in to have it looked at because I cannot replicate it. Any advice would be helpful.

TWP,

Do you have a card reader? Have you pulled the card out to see if you have any pictures on it?

We want to isolate the problem to see if it's the card or the camera.

TWP,

Well, since we know that your photos are being recorded to the card, perhaps it's a setting in your Playback menus, or in your Review menus (the first tab).

Or maybe your Playback button got damaged somehow?

Thanks stevet1,
However, I wish it was that easy. I tried all of that. I have shot since then, albeit not as hot, and it works fine. I am at a loss

TWP,

It sounds like the weather then. Once your camera cooled down, were you able to use the Review feature again?

Yep...just never heard of it overheating just shooting pictures and no video. I have Sept. and Oct. booked with senior photos and it always gets a few hot days in so I guess I will see how it goes but I will make sure I take both cameras along.
Have a good one!
