My camera has been fully functional since buying it when the T1i came out.
About 3 days ago, I decided that my lens REALLY needed a cleaning.
Like my glasses, solutions were just smearing the oils around, so I took my lens to the sink with soap.
I was not as careful as I should have been, as I did not believe that just a little water would getinside of the lens through areas that seemed pretty tight.
I didn't just dowse the lens in water, just put the glass lens itself under some light droplets and soaped up with my finger.
Well, water got inside and caused my camera to be able to take pictures, but would give me : "
Err 01 - Communications between the camera and the lens"
So finally, I did fix this.
I had to let everything dry, leave a fan on it, blow duster inside, etc. It still did not work.
I had to open the lens and I pulled out two wires that looked a little dirty for some reason.
I cleaned the wires, though I did not see the reason for why that would really be the problem, and vwallah, it worked again.
My problem now, my auto focus, since cleaning those wires, does NOT work.
I am also seeing on my screen, F00, instead of F4, etc or whatever it is (I am still no camera expert)
It is the second number between ISO and the first number like 1/50
The other wires are not really built to grab and pull out, so I was trying to wait for this step, but if the autofocus was working before hand, then it should still work now.
Any ideas?
