Hello Canon Family.
Recently I am facing with a strange situation.
First of all I apologize for the gramer mistakes.
During the preview mode some strange vertical lines appearing on my screen after few minutes. When I turn off the camera after few minutes they are dissapearing. But they appear again after few minutes of usage with preview mode.
I have tried with different lenses, with a new sd card and the battery. Seems like nothing solved the problem yet.
here is a sample photo
Thank you for any help ❤️

Sounds like a hardware issue. When electronics is warmed up, that can sometimes lead to it revealing issues. Also assuming that the lines do not show up in your photos (only an issue with the camera's display)?
You can try resetting the camera, but doubtful that will change anything.
If you remove the lens, memory card and any other accessory, does the problem still occur?
You probably need to call up Canon to schedule a repair.

Does the issue occur both indoors and outdoors?

Hello again and thank you for your answers. The photos are perfectly fine without the preview mode.
Right now i realized that the preview mode is working around 3-4 minutes without problem. But after few minutes of using the vertical lines are appering again.
The vertical lines are also visible on the photos as it seems on the lcd.

You mean visible on the photos only when viewing the photos on the rear LCD screen? Assuming the photos viewed on other devices (computer, phone, etc) are all ok.
Should call up Canon to see about a repair.

I have the same problem with my 1100D, but not "always". The images here are cropped because the stripes disappear when I upload full size images - which in turn are down-sampled through the web posting process.
Any suggestions why? Hardware malfunction and buying a new camera ?

Greetings,
First. In the future, please consider starting your own topic. This ensures your problem or issue gets the attention it deserves. This threat is now 2 years old. It's also not possible for you to mark a thread as resolved if it belongs to someone else. Thanks in advance.
Is all of your gear Canon?
Your testing is not conclusive since you said the lines disappear when you upload/transfer full size images.
Is your storage media full size SD or microSD with adapter? Have you tested with a different card formatted in camera?
What is your "web posting process"? Please describe this for us. Card reader, cable connection to? If you're using a cable connection, have you tried with a different cable? Do these lines appear on your camera's LCD. The images you see on the camera's LCD are jpegs. Even when the camera is capturing in RAW.
We'll do our best to assist once we hear back from you 😉
