The company apologized and is offering free repair services to those experiencing issues.

Canon provided specific serial numbers, allowing users to check if their camera may be at risk. Cameras with the first two digits of serial numbers between 19 and 23 are included in the batch of impacted units. The service advisory is for customers in Asia, Australia and the US.
So, what do you do if you own a black R50? Canon says that any black R50 with those serial numbers is eligible for a free inspection and repair. If you want to take advantage of the free service, you first need to create a Canon account and register your camera. Canon will perform free repairs for this issue until July 31, 2028.
