Over the summer I posted a blog entry about Always Being Ready with your equipment. Even when you do your best, sometimes a small item is forgotten.

When you put your camera gear away and think you have reset all your settings back to your baseline configuration…next time you go to shoot double check it.

I have been having a really odd issue with my camera and auto focus. Been having it for a while and it was to the point I was thinking I had a big issue and it needed to go back to Canon.

Basically every once in a while the camera would hunt for focus and never lock. I would have to go manual to get the shots I was after. Thought it was a lens issue and but then realized it was happening with all my lenses.

Happened yesterday at a Colorado Strobist Meet-up so I had had it. Body and all lenses were going to Canon for calibration!

But as I do, I started digging deeper online and found a suggestion that clicked in my head.

A while back I had shot a motorcycle race, set the AF to AI Servo to deal with the moving subjects. Since it is not something I hardly ever change, I never changed it back to one shot focus. I shot this race in September!!!!

I changed it back to One Shot focus and you guessed it… everything works just fine now.

DOH!
