Canon 450D C.Fn-10
 

I use this function to be able to completely separate focusing and exposure. When I first started using it I noticed that the focus point facility no longer worked in photo-editing software which I can live with. However, unless the camera is malfunctioning, I notice that I have also lost auto-focusing when using remote control. This happen to anyone else?

I have not noticed the first one, as only Canon's own software points out the focus point and I do not use it. Using the remote makes sense, you are no longer using the shutter button to focus, so the remote will not do it.

Don I have a number of remotes for my 7D including my Android phone and flash triggers. All of them focus the camera.

Harry[/QUOTE]But are you using rear focus? That is what he is asking about. He using using the AE-Lock button on the back.

My apologise Don, you are quite correct.

I have programmed my 7D to focus from the AF button on the back of the camera, but only from Custom Function 3 (CA3). So effectively my camera will focus via a remote in all setttings other than CA3.

I did check on mine, a remote does not do AF with rear focus enabled. The 7D has different custom functions than our older cameras.

Hello - thanks very much for all that. I'm now beginning to suspect that I lose IS using that function as well.

Hey - I've just noticed I'm a Junior member - that feels good when I can almost remember the doodle bugs!
