EOS 250D - LCD auto turn off after 30min

wojtechnettle — Thu, 03 Sep 2020 13:30:29 GMT

Hi,

I would like to ask, if is it possible to disable LCD auto turn off? Because I want to use this camera for streaming and every 30 min LCD display shut down. In the settings I see only the settings for auto turning off the whole camera.

Thank you

In the US, the EOS 250D is known as the EOS Rebel SL3. According to Canon it has clean HDMI output.

Your settings seem to be incorrect. I suggest that you download a copy of the full user manual.

Yes you are right - it has HDMI output. But the display turns off after 30 minutes regardless of whether the hdmi is plugged id or not. Unfortunately, nowhere in the settings I do not see an option to disable the automatic switching of the display during inactivity.

Are you recording on the camera or just using HDMI?

I was hoping that it was the 30 minute recording limit, but it appears not.

Are you sure the camera is not overheating and shutting down? Is it always *exactly* 30 minutes?

Have you tried it with just the LCD to see if you get warnings?
