Jun 26, 2013 08:55 | #1 Sometimes when I focus in one shot mode using centre point half press and recompose, the camera seems to lose focus and wont shoot. Is there something I am missing. It does seem to hapoen in low contrast areas such as when I focus on a boat and then move the camera so the centre point is over the sea for example. Has anyone any ideas of what I am doing/not doing or has my camera a problem. Thanks flickr

Jun 26, 2013 09:11 | #4 I never have the beep on but will in future. Personal function 14 is set to disable. Unfortunately I dont have driver discs for this. Now begins my search for these. Thanks for the quick replies flickr

If you do the focus-recompose dance you need to make sure you stay half-pressed on that button. Also keep in mind that it doesn't work in AI Servo. Mark IIs also have fairly spongey buttons so I usually choose my focus point instead. Did you lose Digital Photo Professional (DPP)? Get it here

I never had this trouble before though with any other camera. I will enabke the beep to be sure and try hunt down sone siftware to change the personal setting. Thanks again flickr

Even my 30D had a more defined half-press. The 1D II portrait button is so mushy I don't even have it enabled. Did you lose Digital Photo Professional (DPP)? Get it here
