1. Recommend that you use One Shot or AI Servo not AI Focus.

No, for portraits use One Shot. If you use AI Servo you are telling the camera to look for something in the scene which is moving and requires constant focus updates. AI Servo is the wrong choice for portraits, landscapes, or anything that is not actively changing its focus distance.

2. Take off the lens and clean the gold coloured connecting terminals with a small pencil eraser both on lens and camera.

That might be worthwhile.
