I can not take pictures with auto focus with my canon 40D. the auto focus does not work and nothing happens. I reset the camera settings and still nothing. I do have the upgrade firmware. When I switch to manual I can take pictures and it is my only way to take pics.
help!!

- Thanks for your answer but I tried the 3 lenses I have and it still does not work so it must be the body, but don't know what!! frustrating!
The lens AF mode is not working. What lens is it you are using?
It is not a camera issue but a lens issue. Try a different lens to be certain.

- Have you tried adjusting the little turn wheel just above and to the right of the eyepiece? It is used to compensate for vision impairment and can make autofocusing difficult?

My Canon 40D locks up when I click the shutter and the blue printer light next to the menu button is flashing. All the LCDs go blank and all functions stop working . Originally I was using a vertical grip and it still would not come on when I took the batteries out but after I detached the grip the camera did come back on . Now I'm not useing the grip and I still have take out the batteries and re-insert and turn back on camera to make function work again. Everything looks normal but the same thing happens again once I click the shutter. I've tried this on manual and automatic setting but the results are always the same. I have no desire to print anything so I'm not sure how this light even came on. The manual tells how to print but not how to deactivate this feature. I've scrolled thru all the settings on the camera menu but don't see anything related to this. Is this a camera setting or is my camera broken?

I have a Canon 40D and I have it set to autofocus, but my pictures are never really clear. I compare to pictures shot with other cameras and they are so clear and all of mine just have that "soft" look which is not always desirable. I am afraid I goofed by purchasing a Canon.
