Hi there Canon forum!
I have a 7d mkii but when I turn it on it, the shutter seems to be stuck in high speed shooting mode and shoots repeatedly, unprompted, with a lens on/off, with a memory card in/out.
In addition, I can't get the menu screen to appear to attempt a factory reset. Anybody have any suggestions?

Okay. Are you saying that if you press the Menu button nothing happens?
Remove the card from the camera, format in your computer and reinstall. Try a different card if you have one.

Did anything happen to the camera that you are aware of - dropped, got wet?
Switch lens to manual focus. Then camera will expose even if focus can't be achieved.
Try installing Canon EOS Utility. Then you could try actuating camera via mouse and computer.
EOSU writes the file to the computer.
After this round of troubleshooting give Canon a call at (866) 261-9362.

At this point none of this self-help stuff is going to fix it. Like I said it's free and easy but as you found out, usually doesn't help either.
Do call Canon a 7D Mk II is too great camera to not let Canon fix it.

I'm under the impression that only the 1D series cameras have that. Am I wrong? It would certainly be a useful feature on any camera.
