EOS 850D Lagging to switch between the Viewfinder and Screen

Haley0012 — Fri, 28 Mar 2025 15:28:57 GMT

Hi everyone,

I'm using Canon 850D with EFS 18-135 lense for 2 years and a half. My camera has been very slow and lagging to switch from viewfinder to live mode when I take photos. And when I want to see the photo after taking it, it's very lagging as well. I always need to take out the battery and reinsert it.

Is there any specific reason why that happened?

Thanks

Haley,

I have an 850D too, and I can't say it really lags.

Are you using fresh, fully charged batteries?

Have you tried a different battery?

One possibility is that your GPS is slowing things down. Is your GPS disabled?

Also, I wondered if the contacts between the lens and the camera might be dirty. Have you tried a different lens and does the behavior change?
