Hello everyone!
I have a Canon EOS 250D camera, purchased a year ago. But the new camera has started to act the same my previous camera after what I did replace it.
It is quite hard to explain this problem but autofocus suddenly stops working as well as the display turns off. Live view button is not working also. Then suddenly it is back working but after several shots the problem returns. The only thing I see on display is the "Sensor cleaning" note when turning off the camera.
When i connect the camera to the pc with a wire, then the display works ...
What could be the problem? Don't want to buy another one so soon.

I have used this type of cards (I have two) for about a year and until now they worked fine. The autofocus (and also the display) is not working without the card. The weirdest thing is that the same problem started with my previous camera almost at the same time of the year one year ago 😄 Then I bought a new camera but now I have decided to look deeper into the problem.

Only one of the batteries was used with the previous camera too. The lenses were bought with the new camera and also the memory card.

I believe the problem is with the body. I highly doubt that all 3 lenses are defective. Now SD Cards can cause the camera to lock up.

From the beginning I am also sure that the problem is in the body or the software (settings) and not in the lenses ... But what ... I have bee using it carefully and been very good to it, but it still does not to work with me anymore 😄

Try resetting the camera back to factory default. The camera needs to be out of Auto Mode or any other Automated shooting mode. Like P Mode for instance and reset the camera to factory default and custom functions back to factory default.
