Evening,

just wondering if anyone can help??

recently purchased the Canon EOS M6 Mark II and have some lenses from my old camera so purchased the the lens mount to us my current lenses

the only problem I have encountered is with the EFS 55-250 LENS and the fact that the auto focus doesn’t seem to work

is there a setting I have wrong or is this common with this lens and camera?

the auto focus works fine with all my other lenses

thank you

Welcome to the Forum Mike. Great camera. Lots of  M System  enthusiasts here!

First, check that the AF/MF switch on the lens didn't inadvertently get switched to MF (work the switch a few times).

There is also an AF/MF switch on the M6ii. do the same.

Check/clean the electrical contacts on the lens and on the camera's lens mount. Scrub with a Q-Tip initially.

Try other lenses. Try the 55-250 on another camera body if you can (it might need repair).

If all else fails, Canon is having a great sale on the 55-250 STM lens on the Canon Refurbished site...
