issues with SX60 hs and auto focus

[malancr]

hello to all

just wanted to know if anyone is aware of the following

like a month ago I've started noticing that my SX60 HS been having a hard time trying to auto focus. usually I had to press the shutter button half way and it willl focus the image with on problem. but now I have to do that several times until it focuses clearly the subject.

I've also noticed that the omvie mode also has issues with the focus.

I've already did a factory reset to the camera and still no luck, hoping that it was related to maybe a setting on it

any  ideas

regards

     " a grey day might not be it's forte" what a classic statement & sums it up perfectly. I now have a used Powershot & mainly because it works well, has the zoom & it has been no trouble for a couple of years with much use. I have had three SLR's & just had no luck with any. Please dont blame your camera or praise shots " because they have the flash camera" just accept & adjust. Adapt to circumstances. Many Pro shots can take days or weeks

I am a hobby photographer and have an SX60 HS. I bought it because I like Canon and for the lens reach. I have found that it sometimes has trouble focusing in auto mode under low light due to the small sensor. It works best for me using aperture or shutter priority. Auto focus is spot on MOST of the time, even doing close ups of insects.

Thank you, much appreciated.

I have found that when focusing in Av then I often get a small yellow box I think that I need to refocus but then it goes when I switch to Auto
