Check & see if the lens is in properly, i had a problem with mine last year & I had somehow cross threaded the lens just slightly , took me ages to get the dam thing out Quote Link to post Share on other sites

HBG 350 Posted April 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 i've had a mess about with it this morning before i ring anyone,its seems to be something to do with the lense,when i've got the 18-55mm on in AF mode it wont take pics but in MF its fine,the 90-300mm is fine in both modes,so its not as bad as first thought. cheers hbg Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MuttleMcTuttle 21 Posted April 21, 2012 Report Share Posted April 21, 2012 Sounds like it is the AF on the lens that's the problem. A lot of cameras have the default set so that they will not take a pic if the lens hasn't locked on to the focus. It is probably not worth sending the lens in for repair. For what it would cost can probably pick up something better off ebay, or use it manually. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MuttleMcTuttle 21 Posted April 23, 2012 Report Share Posted April 23, 2012 Yn's suggestion to clean the contacts is worth a try - very gently with soft cloth and maybe a tiny dab of lens cleaner (if it is a suitable one) Some people recommend using a pencil eraser, but only use a very light touch... You usually get an error code with a contact problem though. I presume you've tried flicking the AF switch back and forth a few times, putting a freshly charged battery in, throwing the lens at the dog, etc...? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
chook1 184 Posted April 24, 2012 Report Share Posted April 24, 2012 With the 18-55 kit lenses there seems to be faults with them, mine doesn't work correctly in auto, it will auto focus if i turn it one way but not the other, nothing wrong with manual mode on it and for the price of them not worth fixing.
