T6 no live view images

[monteuxgallery]

My T6 will not produce any images when using live view, but will when using the viewfinder.  AND - this problem ONLY occurs when using the 18-55mm lens, not the 70-300mm lens.  What gives???

“I'm dubious about that explanation. Yes, the autofocus mechanism can get jammed (by trying to manually focus while the lens is in autofocus mode), which the popping procedure sometimes cures. But the usual symptom is that the image is out of focus, not that it doesn't get taken at all. Also, I'd expect the outcome to be the same in live view as in viewfinder mode, as the lens's autofocus motor (which is what gets jammed) would have to be used in either case.”

I agree. If the AF motors were jammed, then the focus ring would also be jammed. You would not be able to manual focus.

Taking a photo is another matter. If it can focus in the viewfinder, then it should focus in Live View. You press the same shutter button in either case.

I know, but the symptoms are inconsistent. He says it works with the 75-300.

Having same issue with my wife's T6 Rebel and the 18-55 lens. If using the viewfinder, autofocus works with a half press and you can take photos with a full press. If you are using the rear LCD instead, any press of the shutter button (half or full) will trigger the shutter but no image is saved.

Does live view work in manual mode as in the OP?
