Hello, dear costumers!!! ;)

I´m new to all this world of digital hardware so my 1 question is:

I´m working in manual mode and auto focus mode!!!
I´m asking this because a got i friend that has one and whem i try´t the af point that focus light on!!

Turn the camera on and then ouch the top right button (the zoom button) that will turn them all on, then if you push it again you can scroll through which ones you want on.

Surely your 350D is set in AI Servo Mode; if camera is set in this mode, AF points don't light up! Camera try to focus continuosly ... so, no need to have Af points lightnin'.
Choose one of the other two AF modalities ("One Shot" or "AI Focus") and you'll see the AF points working correctly.:D

Hope this will be helpfull. Sorry for my poor english too.
