EOS R8 - LCD Monitor issues

[AlonT]

What started as a sporadic failure - now seem to be constant. Other functionalities of the camera are ok.

There are no issues with the viewfinder.The touch capabilities are also fine - but the display is corrupted.

I sure will.

In my case - the issue was seen before and after the 1.4.0 FW update.

Not yet. AlonT sent their camera to Canon and we're waiting for word from them.  So I'm keeping my camera for now since it "works" at least to a degree. The bug could be either a hardware or a firmware issue. I am suspecting that the 'hash screen" has something to do with the camera's internal buffer, since it comes up with or without an SD card inserted. The surest way to trigger the bug is to run the drive at high speed, but I've had it come up a lot in single shot mode right after pressing the shutter, and if a card is installed the picture isn't recorded to it. To get rid of the hash screen I need to half-press the shutter up to a dozen times, this seems to clear the buffer but only partially.  Also note the hash screen doesn't necessarily look like the picture above, it take a different form depending on the image data in the buffer; sometimes it stays still, sometimes it modulates form.

As a side note, I purchased my R8 within 3 weeks of hitting the market, so I've had it 18+ months hence warranty is expired. It will be interesting to hear what Canon says.
