AF flashing green, red AF sign on screen - won't take pictures

It appears that the auto focus has broken on my camera. It simply won't let me take a picture. Is there any reset I can do, or does it need to be sent to the shop.

  • Anonymous Jun 01, 2008

    I bought a pretty expensive dive case for this camera dropped the camera and it broke. I had to get the same camera to fit in the dive case, had no problems with it for the first 2 months, got on my vacation and it stopped working! Grrrrrrr...AF stays on it will freeze after the first picture.

When you depress the picture button you should both hear the camera making motor noises and see the image focus changing as it seeks the proper focus for the image. If no focus movement takes place and you hear nothing then the focus motor is either completely jammed or malfunctioning. Alternatively focus movement may take place but it never finds the right focus point. Or you may hear a buzzing or clicking sound when it should be focusing. These symptoms can be caused by impact or, more commonly, sand or other contaminants making their way into the delicate system which moves the focus element. The camera will require professional repair in either of these cases. David Millier Advance Camera Repair
