[QUOTE="pforsell, post: 618946, member: 7240"] Many shooters prefer the so-called back-button-focusing where the shutter button does not activate autofocus at all. If the camera is not new, it is possible that the previous owner has moved the autofocus function to some other button instead of the shutter button. This is often the AF-ON button in the back of the camera, but some bodies doesn't have the AF-ON button, in which case the autofocus function could have been relocated by the user to somewhere else. The fastest way to set all settings to factory default is to do a two-button reset. Hold the two buttons with the small green dot pressed down a few seconds (ISO button in the back, exposure correction on top, IIRC) and let the camera reset itself. Now the autofocus should activate by half-pressing the shutter button. If nothing happens, you need to determine whether it is the camera or the lens that has the problem. [/QUOTE]
