Hello,
Just got this camera about a month ago in late September. Im running into a problem where the quick control dial when turned left, goes both left and right erratically even though I’m only turning left. A temporary fix I found is lifting up the dial a little bit with my finger nails and it works as should but will go back to the problem shortly after.
Obviously this is a problem because this controls the aperture control as well as navigating the menus.
I haven’t done any shots where dirt would seep in there, is this an issue that’s common or should I send it to canon to fix it? I imagine it would be under warranty

One year warranty (assuming it was purchased new and isn't grey market). Register your product and request service.

Experiencing the same issues above and will follow this advice. The problem started soon after I bought the camera and thought it was related to a Farmwear update as the problem coincided with the update soon after.
