Hello. I have a Rebel T6 E05 with the basic 18-55 mm lens, and I recently have encountered an issue where I am sometimes unable to take a photo because the camera can't achieve a focus lock. I've tried toggling between MF and AF on the lens, and also the various AF modes (One shot, AI, Servo), and have also taken off the lens, turned it to MF setting, and manually extended and retracted the focusing lens, hoping to reset the motor inside. I've gotten it to the point where, during a bright sunny day, I can achieve a focus lock when the camera is fully zoomed in, and out.
However, it can only focus lock in-between when I am zooming back in after fully zooming out (and not the other way around). In other words, if I were to simply arbitrarly zoom a certain amount without fully zooming in and then zooming back out, I can't get a focus lock. Any ideas on why this may be the case?
Many thanks, in advance.
