I don't seem to have the ability to use AF in EOS Utility when I'm in live view. Am I missing some setting or is it because the XSi is old and doesn't support AF. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

The lack of any response may be because we need more basic information about what you are doing and how you are trying to achieve it.

Certainly I don't understand why AF and Eos Utility are being mentioned together.

Thanks. I'll see if I can make things clearer. When I'm using the computer for remote shooting with my XSi I"m not getting auto focus capability. The tutorials on the Canon site show an AF button in the upper right of the screen. The screen shot I attached is my interface with out and AF button. Just wondering if my camera is too old to support AF with EOS utility. Hope that clears things up a bit, but if not please ask for more info.

Thanks

Well I'm just gonna assume the XSi is too old to support AF/MF in EOS Utility. I found a youtube video of EOS utility with the T1i and the AF/MF is there. See next to the shutter button? The T1i has the AF/MF button and mine doesn't.

If the lens is set to AF, you should be able to manually adjust focus by clicking the << < > >> buttons.

Yup. It does that but the set up at work will auto focus but my XSi won't. No biggie really.
