Today I went for a shoot for the first time since Xmas Day and it would appear my autofocus is not working. I have checked the lens - AF is on. I have checked the camera settings - all appears in order but I may be wrong....
For some reason, when I press the shutter half way, the lens is not auto-focusing as it did and any shot other than at the widest is blurred.
Has anyone had this happen? Is there something I can do to correct it? I tried several lenses and the problem continued so can only assume it is the body & not the lens.

dirty contacts? use a pencil eraser and give them a rub. the contacts are on the part of the lens that inserts into the body, and on the body at the lens insertion point also

have you set the auto focus to back button only.

Have you tried the AF on button the back ??

Hi Rick - the contacts are definitely clean.
Hi MarkChap - how can I check if this has been done? My brother in law was playing with the camera on Xmas Day & perhaps he has changed a setting unknowingly??
Cheers - Katt

All sorted - looks like my dear brother in law played with the Custom Function buttons. All is good again. Phew.:)
