Broken memory card cover Canon 7D markII, is there an override?
Photography Asked on July 29, 2021
The memory card cover on my Canon 7D markII has broken off. I am unable to replace it at the moment but need to use my camera.
Is there a way to override the automatic off setting for when the card cover is open?
One Answer
The memory card door has a tab that engages a very small micro-switch on the camera body when closed. If you can find a way to activate this switch, your camera will operate without the door closed or even if it is missing.
Be careful not to damage the delicate micro-switch.
