Canon 750d Camera vs SD Card

kaone — Tue, 27 Sep 2022 09:25:22 GMT

Hi. Please need some assistance. I have a canon 750d that does not switch on when i insert the sd card inside the camera. Once i eject the sd card and switch on the camera it switches on and i can do functions as usual but once i put in an sd card no powering up. Is the sd card slot damaged? Thanks in advance.

Sorry to hear you are having issues. When did this problem begin?

What type of SD card are you using? Brand? Storage capacity? Is it a full size card?

Definitely sounds like an issue associated with the SD card or card slot.

Are you using full size SD cards? What brand? Can you post a photo of one?

Since the cards work in a different camera I would focus attention on the card slot.

Look into the slot with a flashlight and see if you see any foreign material or any bent pins.

I would suggest that OP try a 32 GB or smaller. Older Canon cameras cannot use 32 GB or larger cards.

From the camera manual:

I know that older cameras often cannot use or format. 64 GB or larger cards so I that maybe one cause.

I agree. The older Rebels seem to choke on SDXC cards. I know what the manual says.

My wife has a T6s (an upscale version of the T6i/750D). Works fine with a 128 MB SDXC card.

My T5 would hang. All of the entry level ####D bodies seem to have issues with SDXC cards. This would be a first that I have heard about issues on a beginner ###D body.

Sometimes, an SD card isn't what it appears to be . . .

LOL. I remember that post. It was quite the surprise.

BTW, the OP still has not confirmed that full size cards are actually being used.

The 750D/T6i Firmware fully supports SDXC (2TB limit) and is not restricted to SDHC (32 GB) only.

Since the OP states that two cards work on another 750D, they must be properly formatted to FAT32 and not NTFS. Even an improperly formatted card should not cause the camera to not turn on - it might trigger a "card must be formatted" warning, but should not prevent the camera from powering up.

However, strange system faults can occur, and it certainly can't hurt to find a 8GB or 16GB SDHC card (if you still can) to try to absolutely eliminate the "card size" issue.
