That's a smart move, since the settings are inconsistent and produce differing reactions every time. The overheating seems to be a feature of that particular setting but even then the symptoms appear to be fairly random. Even when the settings are changed the apricot cast can persist as also do the blown highlights. Processing each image as raw instead of SOOC (Straight Out Of Clown) can eventually improve the results with an extensive amount of post processing, but even that can't fix a poor initial exposure.

Most importantly, it is best to avoid the COVFEFE setting, since it will cause permanent and lasting damage incrementally to more parts of the system every time it is used.

I'm not sure whether it is simply a firmware bug or a fundamental design flaw in the logic circuits, but it could lead to any model that has that mode to being recalled and replaced with a redesigned model. There appears to be no simple software or device driver fix. It seems to be the equivalent of the Samsung Galaxy Note 7, and a persistent Korean problem.

I do hope that you suffer no lasting damage!

There's a logic circuit associated with the COVFEFE setting? Who could have imagined it was so complicated. . .

Well, without a complete tear down it's actually difficult to know, and according to the professionals it is unethical to make that kind of analysis without a full bench diagnosis, including exploring all the corner cases. However, it does appear that there is some cause for concern and that the erratic results could indicate processing errors that could result in both obvious and silent data corruption.

Anyone else having trouble with the covfefe settings on their camera? No matter what I try I simply can't get that effect!

You need to press the shutter and four random buttons at the same time.

COVFEFE software upgrade could in fact Make Canon Great Again.
