I have been experiencing some intermittent autofocus problems with my 350D lately. It seems to be when using the kit lens.
I tried the kit lens today and no luck. I switched back and forth from manual to auto, turned it on and off several times, but nothing. I have a 50mm prime which has hardly been out of the box, and i can remember on one occasion the autofocus wouldn't work on it for a period, and then it was fine after.
I tried the other two lens today (50mm and 55-250mm) and they were fine. i placed the kit lens back on and it was still dead.
It does make a small sudden movement which is barely noticeable when i try and focus it.
As a greenhorn and someone who doesn't want to uneccesarily tamper with the camera, can someone recommend anything i can do to rectify the problem.
P.S. The camera/ lens are all well looked after and get minimal use and can go for months without being taken out of the bag.
Thanks
