While shooting at Boot Hill in Dodge City, KS I was changing the settings in the camera. Beinf moving from inside to bright sun outside, I could not see well what I was doing. The bottom line was that I might have messed up the camera settings.
The problem was that my auto focus was not working. I could activate the focus by hitting the "AF-ON" button. Cleaned the lens connections thinking that might be the problem - no luck. Exchanged lenses with another camera. Lenses worked in the older T1i, but could not auto0focus in the 60D.
Finished the day with the Canon Rebel T1i with the Tamron 18-200mm lens. Back at the room, I researched the problem in the camera manual. I could not find any solution. Completed my trip using the T1i.
Today, I was able to get into Omaha to get to Rockbrook Camera (where the camera was purchased). I was nt sure if my problem was settings locked up or a defective in the camera. The clerk at the 108th & Center store was able to check out the camera.
Sure enough, I had set in some special functions or at locked up one of the functions. He showed me how to clear and reset the camera. I offer the solution with photos should I have a problem again and/or should others have a simular problem.
First - Clear all Custom Functions (see photo)
Then Clear all camera settings (see photo)
This was all it took. Camera is running properly again. Had this not resolved the problem, I would have had to send the camera in for repairs.
Thanks to the clerk at Rockbrook Camera. My main camera is back.
