Title: EOS 5D Issue Post by: kbozeman on April 28, 2010, 10:51:16 PM I was wondering if anyone has had this problem with their 5D I. My autofocus on my camera has stopped working and I have to take pictures in manual mode. Not only do I have to do it in manual, but I cannot take one picture right after another. I have to wait several seconds or even a couple of minutes before it will let me trip the shutter again. Does this just sound like a normal autofocus problem or is there an even larger issue? If it is just an autofocus problem, how much does Canon usually charge to repair a problem like this?

A quote from Canon can be expected to be pricier for a 5D. Seems anything with a full frame sensor commands a stiff premium (repair or purchase). |
