EOS M50 won’t shoot in green A mode

[Andy149]

I recently bought a canon eos and a new lens for it. The sigma 12-24 mm. Why won’t the camera let me shoot in green A mode?

Andy149,

Will your camera let you shoot in any other mode, or is just that one?

If you are on One-Shot mode, I don't think your camera will let you take a picture until it achieves focus.

Take your camera outside and focus on something, and then try to take a picture.

Also, try putting it into Servo mode and try taking a picture. In Servo mode, I think your camera will take a picture whether things are in focus or not.
