[QUOTE="nickt, post: 552739, member: 4923"] As Sparky said, Raw is a image recording format. It preserves a lot more data from the original shot. Using it would not cause the problem you described. I would say you probably somehow ended up in manual focus mode. This can be done from a switch on the lens but I think you did it from the camera menu since it was cured with a reset. Manual Focus mode will let you take out of focus pictures and of course no beep. It is meant to focus using the ring on the lens and the camera will not attempt to focus on its own. I can not think of any other setting on your camera that would cause out of focus pictures. Your particular camera will not let the shutter fire unless it sees focus. So if your shots were totally out of focus and the shutter was able to fire, I'd would say you were in Manual Focus mode. Also do not confuse manual shooting mode ('M' on control dial) with Manual [B]Focus[/B] Mode (set in menu, MF). [/QUOTE]
