12 Ways to break your Canon M50 and how to avoid them

[@denkomaru]

My m50 just arrived recently and as my first proper sort of camera this has helped a bunch on learning to take of it properly, thankyou very much!

[@markwiemels]

So good to hear.

[@diablodan1459]

(just broke my canon m50 screen today lol) tip from the accident - is to get a sturdy tripod especially for outside usage and be sure to make sure the legs are as far out as possible. I tried to bring them in to make the height a bit more vertical which led to wind pushing it over hitting the ground and breaking the screen. So make sure your tripod legs are wide especially when you aren’t manning the camera in the moment. Also the screen protector is going on the next one i get lmao seems like a no brainer not sure why i never thought of it. Thank you for sharing your tips and stories!

[@drutgat2]

Thanks for this. Some good ideas here. A couple of things to note: 1. Quite a few of the reviewers of the tempered glass (Pack of 3) Compatible Canon Eos M50 Screen Protector you recommend say that the M50s screen will not close fully because the Screen Protector is too big. 2. Old Pro Tip for protecting lenses and the M50s sensor from dust, rain and so on when changing lenses - change the lenses in a knapsack, or camera back (if it is big enough), or in a big enough plastic bag. Best to squat down to do this, so that you can put the lens and camera on the ground (or flat top of your camera bag) when they are in the plastic bag.

[@markwiemels]

Thanks, good tips. In regards to the screen protector, it closes, but does not “click” in while closed. I just leave it screen out, as the screen is now protected and you can manually turn the screen off, if you don’t want it active.

[@drutgat2]

@@markwiemels Thanks for your reply, Mark. I should have been more precise in describing the Screen Protector problem. The main thing I was trying to get across, though, is that people were unaware that the screen will not close *fully*, and this is a problem for some. This speaks to the issue of the camera being potentially damaged in some way (in this specific case, by debris, grit or other unwanted, potentially damaging agents getting between the screen and back of the body, into the hinge and so on).

[@bsandoval2340]

A minor correction on your battery topic the battery will not leak as they are lithium ion. However a much more serious thing may happen they could light on fire or even explode so if the battery swells put that thing in a tub of sand and find a local place that will properly dispose of it

[@nagajamir9064]

That’s what I thought the batter does leak 😅 I guess it’s on charger my guess not the battery

[@nikhilcvines_shorts]

Broo my third party battery is swelled and i am using it. Does this battery going to damage my m50 camera? I am confused

[@irtzasoomro3436]

Thank you so much man! New m50 user here, and I was definitely putting my camera on the tripod way too tight, this is a lifesaver!

[@markwiemels]

Wow! glad it helped, I did the same with my first cameras.

[@travelandtrails679]

Hello Mark, thank you for your m50 video series. I live in San Francisco and know all too well the m50's lack of weatherproofing vis-a-vis our famous fog--I damaged my last m50 body due to moisture. One advantage I like about the m50 is the lower liability vs higher-end camera equipment. Not that I'm careless, but I'm more apt to take my m50 with me not only for its diminutive size, but because it don't need to worry about it. I hope Canon doesn't drop the m platform now that the company is making APS-C R-cameras. Thank you!

[@markwiemels]

Yes, I feel the same.

[@kaffeeskateboards]

My silicon cover was for 4 years straight on my old Canon 1200d. I sold the Canon 1200D. The buyer was surprised how new the body looked. I have also for the canon m50 a silicon cover. But you are absolutely right to check under cover once in awhile for dirt...

[@kenkelley8535]

Mark, I've enjoyed viewing your videos as I'm a recent purchaser of the M50 Mark ii. An avid hiker using a full size DSLR I've finally decided I want a much lighter camera to carry around on the trails. I've appreciated your video on the best 10 and how to not damage and have purchased several of your recommendations. With that being said, I've just discovered that the premium NV filter you recommended does not allow the recommended lens hood to fit (filter will not fit over filter so it can be screwed on). You might want to mention that to your viewers.

[@markwiemels]

Thanks, this is the hood and filter I am using, but I did have another viewer report the same issue, so maybe be something has changed or amazon has automatically sent you to another filter. The last viewer did report that they eventually got it to work. Make sure you are putting the lens hood on the right way. The biggest pedals go top and bottom.

[@FilmyReact]

Thanks for this amazing tips. Really helpful.

[@markwiemels]

You are most welcome!

[@thebigskyguy]

I dropped the camera while doing street work. Thank goodness I had the lens hood attached! Though when depressing the snap button the image makes weird movement when fully depressed.

[@markwiemels]

Yep, lens hoods are cheap insurance.

My brand new M50 is on its way and i already had some of this stuff on order but you added some great information I didn't know, the tripod info is key. One of the things i ordered was the silicone cover, think ill send it back. thanks.

[@robertmuzikar1760]

I use two cameras when I go out for shooting. One has a 18-135 lens and the other a 10-20 wide angle. I lost two cameras over the years through changing lenses in foul weather, be very careful of salt water and sand., also high humidity and high temperatures. Guess you could jump into your car in bad weather and carefully change lenses. This is especially important with mirrorless cameras since you take the lens off and you can see the sensor - right there. Also, make sure your camera bag is really waterproof, since dumb things can happen. As was under a board walk taking pictures of the tide coming in and splashing against the pilings. As I was waiting for the water to come up further and looking through a tripod, I noticed my camera bag floating out to sea. Caught up with the bag floating in waist deep water. The bag did not allow a drop of water inside. Nice....

[@kapitaenen]

Hi Mark! When I watch your videos I use automatic subtitle translation, because I don't understand English very well. Unfortunately, in this video the only language of the automatic subtitles is Dutch for some reason. This is what KZbin seems to think and now it tries to translate from English as if it were Dutch. It has become very difficult to understand anything. Please check the subtitle settings of this video to turn the subtitles into English. I will be very grateful to you.

[@markwiemels]

Thanks for letting me know! I will have a look at this!

[@christiansmith2005]

3:51 Hey I've been on this hike, its in Waterton Alberta and it called the Crypt lake trail

[@markwiemels]

Yes, it's pure magic.

[@TheAfricanChronicles]

Is it worth investing in the M50 knowing it will be discontinued very soon? Canon will release in 2022 new APS-C using RF Lenses.

[@markwiemels]

It’s unlikely they will stop making the M series soon. These rumours have been around for 5 years, and they don’t come from canon, they are just people on social media. I have a video about this on the channel.

[@peterreber7671]

RF lenses defeats the advantage of an APS-C camera. Compared to the M mount lenses the RF ones have big 3 disadvantages, size, weight and price. The only lenses missing in the M mount are the super tele/zoom lenses for e.g. wildlife photography. For that purpose I can buy an adapter and an EF/EF-S lens.

[@hansdegebruiker1968]

I don`t say using a screen protector is a bad tip, but one thing I always do is use the viewfinder as I take photos. Videos I take almost always inside doing interviews mounted on a tripod, so not many risks there. using the viewfinder demands also more creativity making photos.

[@balanced_barrister]

great video!when i use the flip screen for vlogging, i get afraid that it might hit something the opoosite way and it'll just break off.. oofff

[@markwiemels]

That is a worry, it's the most fragile part of the camera.

[@cocoscabana]

great easy to watch and pleasant to listen to Video!!.. I know its older now, But I just bought my Canon M50 used on Craigslist, Its great..I lost my previous in a wildfire ( as well as everything else ) Just starting a KZbin channel, but liked all your advice and if you know of any place other than Ebay or Craigslist for used equipment let me know.. Thank you

[@MaxwellStarr]

Another little keep moisture away/prevent fungus trick: Those silica packets you get with shoes, new products etc, save them an throw a couple in your camera bag to keep your bag where you keep your lenses dry.

[@marijn17s]

Totally unrelated question but where was that hike? Looks stunning

[@markwiemels]

That was the Crypt Lake Hike, in Canada.

[@peterreber7671]

About the batteries. Your link goes to 1100mAH batteries while Canon's and most 3rd party ones are in the 800 to 875mAH range. I would think that these high capacity batteries might be more prone to have some problem than the normal ones.

[@markwiemels]

Yeah, I'm not sure actually, these are the ones I use, and have not had any issue yet. I think even the canon batteries can fail, it's really about keeping an eye on them, and removing them from use if the show any signs of trouble.

[@skyedavis466]

A couple of months ago, I set my M50 outside, recording video. I'd put it in the path a rabbit often takes around my house, hoping to catch some close-up footage. Well, I got involved in other things and forgot about it. All night. Through TWO thunderstorms. And I had not put any kind of protection on it. The next day I remembered and ran outside in a panic to retrieve it. I dried it off, careful to keep it level so as to not let any water that might have gotten in move to places inside that were still dry, removed the battery and SD card, and stowed it away in our attic where it gets quite hot. About 48 hours later, I started it up. Amazingly, it worked fine. And I've had no problems develop so far. I feel SUPER lucky! The next purchase I made was a weather protection bag, just in case I decide to get uncareful with it again.

Wow! What a story that is! So good it survived.

[@markwiemels]

Thanks!

[@FalloutUrMum]

I like my neck strap, sometimes I can use it as a third point of contact when I'm having issues holding the camera steady. I learned the trick from guns, some guns don't have a stock so you can use tension in the shoulder strap to help hold it steady, just basically do the same thing with the camera. Put both hands on the camera however you're going to hold it, then hold it out so it pulls at the neck strap to help keep it steady.

[@markwiemels]

Good tip!

Is exposing the sensor of the camera in direct sunlight bad?

[@markwiemels]

It’s a good question, I don’t think it’s a real issue for the most part. I wouldn’t let it sit open for long periods, but you can change the lens in the daylight and it’s not an issue. I alway try to point the sensor away from the direct sunlight, just to be safe, but I’m not really sure if it matters to be honest.

Great video Mark, just a quick question, I bought the screen protector but when I tuck in the screen it seems to wobble a bit on one end and not close fully... did you experience that as well? Lastly what are your honest thoughts about the EF-M mount seeing that Canon isn't pushing any new lenses out and is instead focused on the RF lineup?

[@Nowheremovies]

same thing for me. I try not to close it too hard, I just let it semi-open. The screen protector might be too thick.

[@markwiemels]

Yes, if I put the screen facing in, it does not do the hard lock in place, but it doesn't swing open either. I have always left the screen facing out, and just turn off the screen in the settings, if I don't want it coming on. I did a video called, is the EF-M mount dead, check that out.

[@peterreber7671]

There are messages that one cannot close the screen fully after fitting the protector. One wants to be able to close the screen as normal. I got me an ExpertShield screen protector. I think the trick is to fit it with as much clearance as possible on the hinge side because that is where the clearances will be the smallest. Any non-flush closing at the hinge will then be more pronounced at the other side of the screen. In the end I ignored the overly complicated fitting instructions (making a hinge with tape) and just fitted it carefully. Aligned it well, pressed down gently and watched with amazement how the rest just 'sucked' against the screen. Works perfect, screen closes too.

I have had no safety issues with third party batteries but they do run out faster. I have ran had at lest four third party batteries lose their capacity whereas none of the original despite there being as many originals. Still the lat years so that is not a major issue. Canon batteries last ages, I still have the one I got 2014 with my EOS M. One reason I bought M50 was that it used the same battery. I only use third party batteries as an emergency. Once I am back I charge both and then put the original back in the camera. It is good to carry lens cleaning wipes with you if you need to clean the lenses. You can also clean your glasses with them. I grab the other lens before I take the old off. Once I take the old one with my left hand I immediately put the new one in with my right one. I have got dust less than once in a year despite changing. I have changed lenses 2700 times and gotten dust 4-5 times.

One question regarding the screen protector. Should I go with a glass one, but from what I've read, I can no longer close the screen (flip it back with the screen inside), as it's too thick, or go with a plastic one, which offers less protection, but I can still flip back the screen? Thanks!

[@markwiemels]

The one I have suggested allows the screen to close, and it stays closed, but doesn't do the hard click, as it does without the protector. I personally would only close it to protect the screen anyways. If you want to only use the viewfinder, and not have the screen active, you can turn the screen off in the menu system as well.

Changing efm or efm size lenses is the only time i use the neck strap, i have quick relese on the strap so its easy to put on (usually use a wrist strap) with the camera around my neck i hold the in-coming lens in my left hand and press the lens release with the same hand, remove the lens with the right hand and the new lens is put straight on, minimum sensor exposure time. with the bigger ef lenses i usually have the hood up in the open position so the lens can sit face down on it, then i put the camera onto the lens facing down. when you use a plastic or silicone waterproof bag to cover the M50 from rain can you end up with condensation inside the camera?

Can you tell me if upgrading to the m50 would be worth it if I own a m100? They have the same sensor so I feel like I would be getting the same images I do now. So I guess the question is are the features worth it?

I would stick with the M100 and invest in another lens. The M100 is a good camera and image quality is identical, adding a lens will make a much bigger difference.

I got a screen protector on your recommendation.

[@markwiemels]

Smart move for sure, I have them on all of my cameras.

[@user-tz7yg8ck3i]

Am I suppose to get the 46mm lens uv filter for the 45mm lens?

[@markwiemels]

Yea, it’s the filter thread on the front of the lens, not the focal length.

[@user-tz7yg8ck3i]

@@markwiemels okay. It’s not really tightening on my lens so I had doubts. I’ll give it another try

[@markwiemels]

Does the lens say 46mm filter?

[@markwiemels]

It should say on the lens, the filter thread size.

[@user-tz7yg8ck3i]

@@markwiemels yes it does

[@billw8648]

God, I just freakin dumped half a Nalgene bottle of water in my cooler with the M50 on the bottom! I drowned the damn thing! The bottles cap wasn't completely closed! But it was only under for a couple of minutes! Is it possible to dry it out such as an Apple iphone in a bag of rice? Any help will be appreciated, I currently have it in a bowl of rice! Maybe it will turn on some day..

[@markwiemels]

I would set the camera, battery door open, card and battery removed, and run a gentle fan across it for a few days. Then don’t try to turn it back on for a week to 10 days, the longer the better.

[@billw8648]

Thanks Mark, I appreciate that very much! I let ya know how it worked out!@@markwiemels

[@avasinclare5037]

I like this chanel

[@markwiemels]

Thanks!

[@lowlowseesee]

how is this vid not in your m50 playlist?

[@markwiemels]

Thanks for the suggestion, I have just added it!

[@houndsmanone4563]

Mark, do you mind making a video showing how you covered your camera with a clear plastic bag to use when you're out in rainy weather? I really like that idea of covering the entire camera with a plastic bag but would like to see how you wrap your M50 Mark II. Thanks a lot. 👍🏽🤠 7/11/22

[@markwiemels]

I will add it to the list of video to make.

[@lovinggossipgirl]

my m50just gave up today and I barely used it....

[@markwiemels]

Sorry to hear that.

[@manuelgaetan]

LOL 0:20 A screen protector will not protect against this type of damage, I think.

[@markwiemels]

Absolutely can, but not always.

[@UnauthorizedCreations]

I use a dummy battery that hooks up to a power pack.

[@Grv2k22]

Very helpful tips. Thanks

[@markwiemels]

Thanks.

[@-lumiashour9855]

I dropped my camera and the screen does not work anymore

[@markwiemels]

Bummer! Sorry to hear that.

I use that saying all time too!

[@kamenberg]

Mate, it is off topic but a pink ghost is trying to get into your studio. 😲

[@markwiemels]

Yes, these are the things we don't notice until editing.

[@kamenberg]

@@markwiemels I am arranging my own space and that's why I was looking in details. I don't think the majority would notice anyway.

[@speedy0_FPV]

if there's a hissing and cracking noise, you better throw that thing out of the window, its not fun to have a lithium polymer battery bursting into flames. trust me, i have some experience 👀

[@UnauthorizedCreations]

I keep my lens covered with my Viltrox speed booster.

[@ajca69420]

, I don’t break my camera,phone or any electronics because theyre expensive.
