I just acquired an original Canon 5D, its in very good condition. On issue however is that the camera will only auto focus, with focus points highlighted, in full auto mode. In AV, TV, Manual it will not auto focus and no focus points light up. Any ideas??

See if C.Fn 4 (Custom Function 4) is set to focus with the AE lock button. If so, the shutter button won't initiate focus in the creative modes.

Thanks for that, it solved the problem. The camera didn't come with the manual and I have downloaded a copy as yet.
