The question I have is can the camera autofocus&nbsp;without holding the shutter button or the AE button? Can it focus on anything that I point to automatically or that doesn't&nbsp;work with this camera?&nbsp;</P> Thu, 21 Dec 2017 20:01:03 GMT e13ment 2017-12-21T20:01:03Z https://community.usa.canon.com/t5/EOS-DSLR-Mirrorless-Cameras/EOS-Rebel-t3/m-p/227853#M28397 <P>I'm&nbsp;fairly new to this photography game and I just picked up a rebel t3.

This is true even in live view.</P> Thu, 21 Dec 2017 21:04:40 GMT https://community.usa.canon.com/t5/EOS-DSLR-Mirrorless-Cameras/EOS-Rebel-t3/m-p/227860#M28398 kvbarkley 2017-12-21T21:04:40Z
