I have a canon 600D. 3 weeks ago, I noticed that i'm having a problem with the auto-focus feature of my camera. It doesn't automatically focus when i half-press the shutter. Even in auto mode, it i can't shot without manually adjusting the lens. What's wrong with my camera?

Hi Ed-Yu! This happened to me twice. I had accidentally turned off auto focus in the settings. I am sure you have already checked this but the second time was solved with a system update. Check your manual to see how to update your particular model but usually you download from cannon and place on your memory card. Then put the card in the slot and go through the settings to upgrade the system. Good luck!! I know how frustrating it is!

Hi Ed-Yu,

It may seems of me to be silly to ask if you've checked if the lens is on AF?  If the lens is set to MF, the camera won't be able to control or focus your lens which ever shooting mode your on. The lens should have and AF/MF switch that can be toggled by a switch.  Make sure that the white indicator is directly on AF.

Hope this helps.

Read, practice, and shoot... Keeping the camera clicking
