Hope someone could help me. I have a work camera (d800) which has hardly seen much action. About a month ago, I borrowed it and used it with my af-s 50mm f1.4. After about a day I found the auto focus had stopped working. I tried everything to get it working, even tried it on my own d5100 but it still did not work.
A week ago i borrowed the d800 again, along with their Sigma 70-200 f2.8. I have used this a few times together and it has always worked flawlessly. This time, after two days of shooting (around 400 shots), the af stopped working. I tried resetting the camera back to defaults to no avail.
Now I am wondering if there is something I am doing to cause these failures. I have the camera body switch set to af and the lens to Auto. Is this the correct setting for lenses with the af built in?
Any help is appreciated.
