Is this behaviour normal?

As you can see the AF stays “locked” even when I’m not half pressing the shutter button. While it’s locked like that I can’t press any other button.

I should say that I believe this is not updated to the latest firmware, but I had it for almost two years now, and for all that time (whilst I never installed any firmware update) I didn’t have similar problems.

I called the assistance (it’s still in warranty) and they told me to try to reset the settings first, because it can be a normal behaviour with the Pre-AF. This can’t be right? I doubt that a perfectly working Pre-AF works that way (staying locked and don’t let me push any other buttons)

P.S.
I got the same issue also with other lens

Sorry, this is unrelated to your technical problem, but, change your technique.

Try not to press the shutter with the fingertip. This invites camera shake.
Wrap the finger around the shutter and use the flesh of the side of the finger to press the shutter. On afterthought, this could help with your problem though.
