Bc can mean that the battery is flat. Do a battery check to see if that is the problem. Bc also comes up if the shutter is sticky. Rewind the film and open the back, look at shutter blades for black sticky bits. It’s easy to clean off.
That's correct. Whenever the battery is in the camera the electronics are active. Removing he battery whenever the camera is inactive for a long period of time is good for a couple of reasons, the most important being to avoid damage from leaks. I picked up a copy of the EOS service manual and the moment the battery is inserted the electronics are energised and the CPUs start booting up: yes, EOS film cameras have computers inside them!
It’s also a good idea to remove the battery because the back lighting on the top LCD will often fail in such a way that the battery will drain quickly even in the “L” (off) position?
I;ve loaded the battery and film and it shows the icon that the film is inside but when I turn it to auto the display says bc, what do I do? my model is the Eos 650! thanks
Thank you so much!! It’s so useful!
thanks!

So there is no way to turn it off besides removing the battery?

The “bc” means batter check: the battery might be flat. Try a fresh battery.
How long does the battery last?
A long time - months - UNLESS you spend a lot of time playing with the camera! I recommend removing the battery when not using it for a week or so.
