1300D Problem

[Photo-Fan]

A friend of mine is having a problem with his Canon 1300D camera.

Twice this week he messaged me saying ‘I had to use manual focus because the auto focus did not work.’ He also said ‘I think it is something to do with the AE/AF lock’.

Can anyone give me any info so I can pass it on, thank you.

are the lens canon or 3ed party lens?
some 3ed party lens will not af on canon bodys or do not have the ability af as its not been built on the lens.

also each canon lens has a switch to disable af.

or the lens has just worn out and needs to be replaced

He has told me it is not a Canon lens.

He has just borrowed a Canon lens from another friend and it works OK.

So, like you say, the lens may have worn out and need replacing.

Thank you.

Make sure the third-party lens is a lens with auto-focus, look it up online and check, as some lenses are manual-focus only!

I will tell him that, thank you.
