Hello!
My AF feature stopped working on my lens and ever since I turned 50, I absolutely rely on it to nail focus. (The whole glasses on to see camera buttons, glasses off to look through lens scenario drives me crazy, but I digress).
Steps I've taken to try to correct the problem: 1) make sure contacts are clean, 2) update camera firmware 3) re-install lens firmware (most current version is still 2022's 1.0.8), 4) fully charge and test both batteries.
I can only get AF to work on "continuous AF" but I don't want that unless I'm shooting fast action or video (in the latter case it's interviews, so I set to continuous and tracking eyes). 95% of the time I want to be able to focus on a center point by depressing the shutter halfway, then recompose and depress fully to trigger shutter. I use manual exposure mode (M) and daylight or custom WB.
Admittedly, the plethora of menu settings overwhelm me and I likely messed something up in that morass. I've watched enough YouTube videos to conclude my answer isn't there. Any and all help is appreciated.
Merci!
