Canon 6D mkii Ai Servo AF

slimer90 — Tue, 29 Mar 2022 09:59:06 GMT

Recently I purchased wall plug adapter dummy battery for my camera and I started noticing some hiccups with my camera. Occasionally I get a lens error that I never used to get, along with some weird nocking noises in the lens. I'm hoping that this is just coincidental as I have have not used the camera plugged into the wall for more that 20mins. Another concern I had was with the Ai Servo AF mode, I seem to remember the camera finding focus on its own in that mode ( like it does in movie mode). I have read countless threads and watched many videos and I cant find a solid answer. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated, thank you and happy shooting.

"Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated, thank you and happy shooting ..."

You may not like the "help" I will offer but, if the AC battery adapter is not a Canon brand, stop using it. It may be too late as it can and might have already damaged your 6D Mk II. If it did it will not be a warranty repair issue.

Essentially the difference between One shot and Ai-servo is One shot locks focus, Ai-servo does not.

"I seem to remember the camera finding focus on its own..."

The camera will fire whether it achieves good focus or not. One shot will not.
