Has anyone had the problem of the 5300 not focusing. When the shutter release is pressed there is no response, i.e. the focus square doesn't light up and there is no confirmation beep. I rang Wilkinsons Camera, who were excellent by the way, they suggested changing the memory card amongst other things. this seemed to cure it and I took about 1000 shots while we were on holiday. But towards the end of the trip this problem reappeared. I've discovered that I can reliably get it working by switching the lens (18-200mm) to manual focus and back to auto. This usually gets it working again. I don't think it is the lens as I had the same problem with another lens, unfortunately I don't have this lens now so I cant 100% rule out the lens.
I just wondered if anyone else had experienced this annoying bug. The camera is still under warranty so I can send it back, I'm just exhausting all possibilities before I send it back.
