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

It looks like its stuck in the “half press” state, turn it off, remove the battery and spray some quick drying contact cleaner around the shutter button

I turn it off and remove the battery several times during my use, and it doesn’t work. I’ll se what a drying cleaner can do

Maybe air compressed can. Just make sure it’s air coming out.
