p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · D600 half-press shutter not working


All,
I bought an used D600 and it would not auto focus when I half-press the shutter button, only when I press the AE-L/AF-L button.
I have tried to find a configuration for it but could not, so is that a configuration issue or a problem on the camera I bought?
thanks a lot,
Luis

Hi Luis,

It sounds as if the "AF Activation" setting under the Custom Setting Menu is set to AF-ON Only. Switch this to Shutter/AF-ON and you should be laughing.

On the D800, it is Custom Setting A4 and on the D700 it's A5, so it should be somewhere near to there on the D600.

Cheers
C

With a used camera I clear ALL pre-settings to start from new.

99% it's config. I would do a complete hard reset and then start from scratch with your own customization - see the manual for reset procedure.

Yeah clear the presettings. That said the back button af is the way to shoot

All, thanks for the replies. It was a configuration on the AE/AF button.
Also, having the back button AF was a really nice way to shoot.

Yep, I setup my AE-L/AF-L button for AF on my D600 also but I still am able to half press the shutter also.

I use the back button, set the camera to AF-C and set the shutter to release priority. It puts you back in charge of focusing and when the shutter fires. There are lots of topics and tutorials written about this technique.

Remember using the AF button doesn't activate the VR in your VR lenses
