Whenever I try to autofocus with my 60D, it always focuses on whatever is on the right. I've tried with a couple different lenses, and the problem persists so it's definitely a problem with the body. Is there any way to fix this?

Thanks.

First, check which focus point has been selected. There's always a chance that a focus point on the right of the frame has been selected.

Don't use automatic focus point selection. It rarely knows what you are intending to shoot.

Good suggestion. If you want a PDF form of the manual you can download it from here:
