I am wondering whether there is somethig n wrong with my 5D or whether I just cannot fathom the controls!

Most likely the latter

When I press the shutter button halfway the AutoFocus and Auto exposure don't both lock
The AF does but not the AE - what am I doing wrong?:confused:

i.e. the exposure keeps shifting according to the subject brightness even with the shutter still half pressed, so if say I half press the shutter and the exposure is 30th @ f5.6 then move to a brighter part of the image it changes to 125@5.6

When I completely reset ALL the camera settings it works OK, but I must be changing something OTHER than the cfn16 which is the only thing that should affect it I thought, as it doesn't work after I change some settings but I have no idea which is doing it - I just lose track!

AFAIK AE is only locked together with AF when using One Shot AF and Evaluative metering. When using partial metering or spot for instance, AE is not locked with AF.
