Hey everyone,

I've recently taken my XSi to the shop to fix and they replaced the main board and reset everything. The camera is "almost" as good as new.
However, I don't know if it's just me, or the camera has problems focussing in AF. As you know, the XSi has a 9-point focussing system.. but only the centre point blinks everytime i take a picture., no matter what metering mode I am in.. partial, evaluative, or centre-weighted. I tried to do some test shots where the focus should have been top, or right, or left, etc.. but instead, it won't focus, unless the "subject" is in the centre in order to the centre focus light to blink.. weird.

What do you guys think?

Thanks!

Have you tried changing the focus point?
See page 61 in the XSi manual.
