Auto focus not working in creative modes

callrrb — Fri, 06 May 2016 17:42:48 GMT

I am using EOS 600D for the past three years. I was and I am not able to autofocus in creative modes. I was actually thinking that there is no autofocus facility in creative modes. Only when I attended a workshop in Chennai yesterday, I came to know autofocus facility is available in creative modes too. I tried with three lenses and in all cases autofocus not working in creative modes only. In basic mode it is working ok. I browsed through the forum and found RESET to be done. How a reset is to be done? Someone please explain. I do not find any firmware update for 600D.

There is a menu option in one of the wrench menus to reset the camera.

The menu can be found here, as shown in the 600D Instruction Manual.
