When I view the picture after I took, but show up with the focus frame (it is square) in the picture, and different picture with different frame, wire. Could someone give me hand, Thanks

Are you talking about viewing the focus points in DPP? Do you want to keep the same focus point for all the pictures you take?

You are probably talking about this....in that case, just go to the menu and turn it off.

Press the 'Info' button to cycle through the different possible displays.

I think we have covered all the permutations. Now we need the OP to clear things up. I think Ernie has had the best answer so far. 8^)

I had suspected that the OP was referring to the AF points display, and how they may change from one shot to the next.

It's obvious that the OP didn't make himself understood because his English wasn't up to the task. But I'll never ridicule someone on linguistic grounds when, as in this case, his command of my language is conspicuously superior to my command of his.

How do you know his English is not native? It sounds native to me, just not very coherent :). I have a nephew, a college grad who is even less coherent than this... I'm thinking Waddizzle is right, he's talking about the focus point display...

While admitting that I have no proof, I stand by my original assessment.

You were right, not Waddizzle. He chose your grid answer as the solution.

Canon 70D turns on but nothing works

seatrek — Tue, 30 Apr 2019 14:56:32 GMT

I turned on my Canon 70D and although it will turn on, none of the functions will work. It's like it is frozen. The LCD panel displays, but the following will not work:

none of the buttons work to change the settings on the LCD screen
Menu will not appear
Info screen does not appear
Live view shooting does not work
Auto focus will not work

This has happened twice over the past few days. If I wait about 1/2 hour and turn camera back on. Everything works. I also tried changing out the batteries and the chip.

I'm currently on vacation and really don't want this thing to die a slow death.

Any suggestions? Thanks.

More than likely its done. At the least you can't trust it any more. So, that pretty much says its done, too.

Canon has a recall for certain power problems with a 70D for a free fix. It may be worth a call to see if yours is covered. Did you see an Error 70 or 80 at any time?

No, I did not see any type of error message. I'll reach out to Canon to see if my camera qualifies for the recall.
