EOS R Protect Image

Curious if anyone else has seen this issue. On my R, I will be deleting images and come to an image that pops up the Protected message. Now here is the problem, I am not protecting any photos, so first I thought that perhaps i was pushing or brushing up against a button. No and I am not going in and setting images to be protected. I can go in and unprotect the photos and delete them with no problem.

I just got off the phone with Support, and they have no record of this being an issue on the R. Leave it to me to find a very odd problem.

Let me know what you think.

ps, the camera went in for service back in March for a defective, circuit board and was repaired under warranty.

Thanks,
John

Hi Tim, if there is no other way to fix this problem I will ship the camera in for repair. I have the Canon EOS R since 12/2018, and this will be the second time the camera has been sent in for repairs. Not a good start for a new camera, what is the determining factor for replacing R?

Appricate your help in this matter. 🙂

Thank you,

John Mickler

Exactly what memory card are you using? Brand, Model, Capacity? UHS-I or UHS-II? Full size SD or micro-SD?

I'm using a Lexar Professional 2000x SDXC II v90 64GB card. I open a support case and shipped the camera this afternoon.

I found the protected images issue a result of the Multifunction Bar. Double tapping the bar can randomly protect image if set to protect. Just go into the Customize M-Fn menu and turn some or all the features off.
