Which camera do you have? Canon has made many models with a “Mark 2”.

EOS 1D Mark II.

EOS 1Ds Mark II

EOS 5D Mark II

EOS 7D Mark II

EOS 6D Mark II

My guess is you have a 5D Mark II because it is an older model and there were lots of them sold.

Your question is a little hard to understand possibly due to language and spelling.

Have you had the camera for a long time? Has it always worked properly before?

Do your photos display properly on your rear LCD screen?

Can you take any new photos at all? If not, Try manual focus.

If the rear LCD screen is not working at all, the camera will need to be serviced.

Your 5D2 is done. Buy another camera.

To expand on Mike's point ...

If you're unsure of your English, try posting in your own language as well. Someone may be able to translate for you. I think this forum encompasses a fairly polyglot group of participants, so you may be surprised at what we can do.

Because virtually everyone in the U.S. speaks either English or Spanish, it's often assumed that that we're linguistically enfeebled, compared to the rest of the world. But that's really an oversimplification. It's worth remembering that despite occasional political pressures to adopt one, the U.S. does not have an "official" language.

I don't fully understand your question either but from what I do gather from it is not good. Plus you may not know Canon does not service the 5D Mk II any longer. I believe yours does need repair so you will need to search out a shop to do so.
