Can't select AF/Zoom point on EOS5D III
Posted: 25.05.2019 15:35
Dear forum,
I'm sure this must have been asked before (I have looked), but connecting HR to my EOS 5D III (running 13.5 firmware) I find that regardless of where I click on the HR preview screen the view zooms into the area which was most recently selected using the camera controls. The same goes for the autofocus.
Switching the camera to a custom mode solved the problem but by default the exposure and ISO were on auto. In trying to get manual exposure control in this mode I've caused the focus point to stop working again* I've reset the custom mode back to it's default but the focus functionality hasn't returned).
It seems like there is some mystery setting which allows the focus point on the EOS to be set remotely. I think I've tried every setting that looks remotely plausible with no luck.
Has anyone come across this problem before?
Thanks for your help.
