Focal Squares
Posted: Sat Jun 04, 2011 8:30 pm
Yesterday the focal square in the middle of the view finder on my camera seemed to stop working. Instead, the lower square (directly below it) flashes red. Switching to manual focus doesn't prompt the central square to flash either.
I'm aware you can programme which square you want to be the primary one but I have tried that and that doesn't seem to be it.
This is all on my default AV setting. However, if I switch to the auto setting, the central focal square flashes!
Back on AV, I have today tried manually focussing with the central square with no red flash and also using the lower square and could probably get by, it's just, well, different.
I have a Canon D10 with a 24-85mm zoom lens. Have I broken it?
Any advice appreciated. Thanks in advance,
Lee
