Auto Focus not working
Lens focus is critical to the quality of the image.
The Auto Focus is not working on my camera. Is there anything I can try?
Self testing:
-
Check the camera has not had the auto focus switch turned off. On some model camera’s there is a separate auto focus switch on the camera body.
-
Check the auto focus switch has not been turned off on the lens.
-
Try another lens on the camera.
-
While camera is turned off, remove the lens and clean the body contacts.
-
Re-set the camera functions, in the menu of the camera there should be a re-set function. This will re-set the camera back to the manufacture specifications.
-
Don't forget, in most digital SLR cameras they have an in-built diopter, if the image is is blurred in the view finder and sharp on the image your diopter may not be set to your eye sight. Check your instruction manual for the position of the diopter and the adjustment method.
If all the above trouble shooting does not eliminate the focus fault you will have to bring/send the unit is for repair/inspection.
