no the card does affect focus lock by lacking colour contrast or having shine on it if shot outdoors. AF works by focusing on contrasts so if u focus on something white, or shiny large surface it wont lock on.Originally Posted by Scotty72
OP I hope u arent using it inside the minimum focusing distance of the 50 f1.8! Have you tried opening the aperture up to say f2.8 or bigger? Also use the centre AF point as well, if you are using it outdoors or somewhere bright, go in the shade and try again.
