Your camera may need to be serviced.&nbsp;</P> <P>Make sure your battery is fully charged and retaining the power. &nbsp;Batteries can get worn out as they age.</P> <P>Next up, your memory card. What capacity memory card are you using? They, too, are susceptible to failure as they age. Be sure to only use full size memory cards. Don’t share the card with other devices. Reading is harmless. Allowing other devices to write or erase files is not.</P> <P>If you have reset the camera, let’s try using the Intelligent Auto shooting mode, the green [A+], on the top dial. Does it still black out?</P> Sun, 03 May 2026 10:05:42 GMT Waddizzle 2026-05-03T10:05:42Z https://community.usa.canon.com/t5/EOS-DSLR-Mirrorless-Cameras/EOS-M50-not-working/m-p/594505#M142242 <P>Whenever I take pictures with or without flash, the screen turns black, even the&nbsp;<SPAN>viewfinder window.
