EOS Rebel T8i manual mode not working

Adolfo832 — Wed, 05 Feb 2025 20:46:34 GMT

I have a canon t8i dslr, it had been working perfectly fine and no problems. I turned it off after using and the next day I went to try and get the photos and I couldn’t access the menu, switch view finder or go to photos in manual mode and other adjustable modes. When I go to auto or special scene mode I’m able to do all the actions on the camera. I quadruple checked that my multi function lock was off therefore there should be no reason for it to not work. If you guys have any feedback or suggestions please reach out.

How do you normally pull pictures off your camera. I recommend using a USB SD Card reader instead of going through the camera. In what way is the camera not functioning correctly please explain clearly.

I was trying to look at the photos on my camera and it wouldn’t let me.

It should if you press the playback button. What kind of memory card are you using. Full Sized or Micro SD Card in an adapter. If an adapted card I would discontinue the use of that card. Get a Full Sized SD Card.

No matter what kind of sd card I put it still can’t access the menu, photos or different view finder

Can you see the pictures on your computer. What size memory card are you using.

I recommend using multiple smaller memory cards. Such as using multiple 32GB or 64GB. Instead of using 1 large card. If the card failed you loose all of the pictures. Using multiple smaller cards prevents this from happening.

Adolfo832,

Initially, I was going to suggest that there might be something wrong with your main Mode selection switch.

Are you able to take a picture when you are in one of the Creative Modes like, M, Av, or Tv?

Does your Q button work and can you make adjustments to your aperture an shutter speed, etc.?

Did you drop your camera or get it wet recently?

I am able to take photos in any mode, but when I’m manual, as, tv or p mode I can only move the f stop.

the q button doesn’t work when in these modes too

I don’t think it has to do something with the sd card

Adolfo832,

I'm sorry. I'm at a loss. You may have to send it in and have a professional repair person take a look at it. I think you've something electrical going on.
