Hey guys, Hope someone could help me with this. I have a Canon Rebel XS and I can't get the Autofocus to work when in live view. The switch is turned to AF on the lens, and it works fine when using the viewfinder. When I put the camera in live view mode, the screen works fine, but a half shutter press does nothing. I can switch the viewfinder on, Autofocus, and then switch back to live view, but that's a pain with every shot. I have a new macro lens coming and I would love to get it working again before it gets delivered. Let me know if you have any ideas. Thanks for reading.
