My Canon digital rebel xti won't allow any lense to autofocus?

canon digital camera rebel xti image

O

I've owned a Canon Digital Rebel xti for a few years. Recently, none of the lenses I use will autofocus on my camera. I can still manually focus. I believe there is a problem with the camera (sensor or the metal outcroppings that the lens' hook to) because a family member has the same model I do, and all of my lenses work on their xti and none of their lenses work on my xti.

Any idea what it could be, and how much it may cost to get it fixed?

Answer
Are the connector(s) dirty? You should be able to see them when a lens is removed. Usually it's cleaned by using an eraser (of a pencil)--but do be very careful--because any bits of it can fall and ended up on the sensor. Probably best if you took it to a camera store so they can check it out themselves.

Is it necessary to install the software that comes with a digital camera?

I just purchased a Canon Digital Rebel XTi camera that came with 2 software CDs. One is listed as the EOS Digital Solution Disc and it has applications such as Zoom BrowserEX 5.7 and EOS Utility 1.1 on it.

The other is EOS Digital Software Instruction Manual

I've already connected the camera to a friends computer and the Windows XP recoginzed the new hardware. The pictures transfred over fine without insalling any additional software.

Are the 2 discs that came with the camera necessary to install?

Answer
i think u have to install the software comes with ur camera if u want to use the timelapse recording feature.
i believe the rebel xti has this feature in which u can programme ur camera after connecting it to the pc to shoot a several frames over a period of time or with a certain time intervals between frames.
u have to read the manual to understand this feature.
other than that i don't think u need to install anything else .....
good luck
