Auto focus is whirring, but the focus is not changing.

[QUOTE="Hordern, post: 183158, member: 15910"] Hi all. I've been using the camera fine for a little while, and keeping it in a camera bag, in a cupboard when not in use. Picking it up one day to take photos, the auto-focus refused to work. This happens with both lenses (28-70mm and a 70-210mm), so I suspect the issue is with the camera body as opposed to the lenses. I've tried cleaning the contacts, but no luck there. When I press the button, I can hear the camera try to focus, there is some whirring going on in there. When I manually adjust it to in focus and try, there is no noise (the further out of focus it is, the more stressed it sounds ;) ), so the sensors appear to be working fine. Is this something I can fix, or will I likely need to get it serviced? Probably tricky as I'm in Egypt, but I'll see what I can find. Cheers [/QUOTE]
