problem 7D!! help!!

[Agetan]

Hi Guys...

Taking portrait today and discover that my 7D behave funny...

All images taken using Auto focus (central sensor was used), 99% of them back focusing regardless which lens I use.

However, if I use manual focus, it is as sharp as it can be...

Any idea?

Hi Hart,
Sorry to hear about your 7D problem. Don't you have a 2nd 7D body?

I presume that you confirm the problem by comparison of the two bodies...?

Looks like some misalignment some where...?

 

[Agetan]

yeah... one of the body was perfect...

another one is out of focus 95% of the time. if the subject is not fill the whole frame, it will out of focus...

ah... anyway, its end of the weekend, I manage to work with just 1 body...

Going to service center on Monday... hope they fix it soon.
