Hi,

I recently added an M6 Mk2 to my cameras. I notices a strange behavior, the halfpress focus nicely in the 'Simple' modes like A+, but moving to Fv, P or any of the advanced modes, and the hafpress no longer focuses.

I planned to use the camera with a viewfinder, and almost never in the simple modes. It appears that there is no way to trigger the autofocus.

Is it a known issue withe the M6 MK2?

Was it second hand or a demo ? That is the usual reason that BBF has been activated. If it was I would suggest doing a full factory reset to get all settings back to default and start from scratch.

Have to say that when I get a new-to-me camera, from whatever source, first thing I do is to sit down and make sure ALL the custom settings etc are set as I want them, so I tend to prefer not to do a factory reset, or else I might be too lazy to personalise it properly. Shows how little I trust myself.
