Camera will focus on half press but when pressed fully it won't take the picture, just no response most of the time sometimes it takes the shot. i have tried cleaning lens attachment and it happens with any lens i own, and it is happening quite a lot, and also happens with or without flash, with genuine battery or 3rd party battery. Please suggest a solution. Canon 1000D | EF 24-105MM f/4 L IS USM | Σ 50MM f1.4 | EF-S 18-55MM f/3.5-5.6 IS | EF 50MM F1.8 | EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS

If that fails it may be a failure of the camera motherboard. jase1125 wrote in post #16584124 Set the lens to manual focus and see if it will fire. I do agree resetting is a good start too. Thanks for the suggestions I will try it tomorrow when i reach home. Canon 1000D | EF 24-105MM f/4 L IS USM | Σ 50MM f1.4 | EF-S 18-55MM f/3.5-5.6 IS | EF 50MM F1.8 | EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS

Good plan - even shooting tethered with the EOS remote app would work if no other remote trigger is available.
