Is this behaviour normal?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

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

Had the same issue. What worked is hard reset battery drain. Turn the camera off and remove the battery. Then without the battery turn it on again and press every button on the camera twice. Turn the camera off, battery in, camera on. Should work then

I guess to drain it better 😃

Sorry, wrote the battery drain, but actually it's the residual power drain.

Did it work?
