Canon 40D Problem

The 9 point auto focus is not working in the P, AT and TV mode, Only the very top red light comes on when the shutter is pressed half way down. I already reset the battery and memory card. All 9 auto focus points work fine in auto and all other modes. Any suggestions before I send back to Dell for repair? Thank's....Gregg

I know on the XTi you can select an AF point, have you made sure you don't have one selected? It does not reset itself when the camera is turned off. Just a thought.

Send it back to Dell for repairs? You mean Canon, right?

I'm pretty sure it's a user thing; but I can barely change the ISO on a Canon so I couldn't answer your question. (Another useless comment, I know).

Problem resolved. I looked in the manual and found out how to change the auto focus points. (DUH)

Yes, I checked too Gregg ... found the answer on page 1,009,878 of the user's manual.

:oP

Got to admit though, pretty hefty 'publication' in and of itself. 196 pages.

Thanks Les for checking, I think it was on page 38 of the Japanese version.
