Nope, the lens is still in mint condition. Only at times when im trying to focus on some things, it will behave like that.
Does it only occurs in low light conditions. Or it happens in bright situations too?
Im not too sure. At least for now, it behaves like this when im trying to focus in low light. Funny thing is that it keeps beeping non stop until i re-depress the half shutter button.
My 600D with 18-55mm kit lens sometimes will keep beeping non-stop and the AF motor keeps moving when im on half shutter button. Is it supposed to be like this? Thanks.
In low light situations, the autofocus cant find enough contrasting detials to confirm, so it hunts
use SPOT AF. it'll lock on better.
and if it persists, it just means the camera is unable to focus. this is due to a few reasons:
1) Lack of contrast/pattern to lock the focus on
2) you're closer to the subject than the minimum focus
3) it's TOO DARK. and when it's too dark, the focus will hunt because the AF module can't find anything to focus on except blackness.
Are you on continuous AF mode or on timer mode?
I think its on AF. Definitely not timer.
In this 'continuous focus mode' (Canon term: AI Servo) the camera will not beep upon locking focus, only the focus confirmation / AF points lights up. The beep only occurs in 'One Shot' and 'AI Focus'.what DD123 means is whether you're using Single-AF or Continuous-AF. if you're using C-AF, your camera will keep re-focusing when you're doing the half-press.

For my case, it keeps re-focusing and beeping constantly (AF points didnt light up). Im on AI Servo. Is it normal?
