If it was whilst using Live View for sneaky shooting round the bend I would guess that is your problem. I think either you need one of the new STM lenses, which may or may not be the answer, or to go old school and shoot through the viewfinder using AI Servo mode.
Certainly the hunting description makes it sound awfully like you were using Live View.
p.s. Thanks for the sun screen - it was a life saver.
modchild said:Hi Allen, what lens was you using and what was you shooting. With the wifes 650D we have no problems with AF using a 24-105 f4. Indoors it's a bit more difficult and with her 18-135 indoors is basically undoable without flash of some description.
Hi
I used my Canon 650D for the first time on Sunday
and had problems with the auto focus hunting in and out on moving subjects
Even people walking slowly toward me
Any advice on what focus mode to use to avoid this ?
( other than buy a Nikon )
did you read the manual before you used it
