Red AF points not illuminating

[ekpreinhards]

Recently purchased a Canon 60D and whenever I autofocus I get the beep signalling focus has been obtained and the photos are in focus. However, the AF points do not illuminate red showing me where the focus point is. I have changed AF modes servo/one shot/focus and have tested multiple lenses with the same results, not sure how to fix this?

Thanks.

Hi ekpreinhards,

I agree with kvbarkley's conclusion.

By default the AF points in the Viewfinder should illuminate in red when focus is achieved with that point. Since resetting the camera to the factory defaults did not help, contacting our Technical Support department (HERE) would be the next step. They can verify that the camera needs service and provide repair information.

For whatever reason, I am now seeing the red illumination of AF points; but only one of them. I have ensured that that AF point selection is on automatic. While changing focus point selection and looking through the viewfinder only one of the points illuminates red while the others remain black. Even when manually selecting the rest of the points they do not flash red when focusing. The centre focus point does flash red, but only partially, it looks like it is hidden behind the black square. Not sure what to make of this.

What shooting mode?

To have just the center AF point light up could be normal.  It really depends upon the AF point selection and AF mode.
