Autofocus doesn't work

QPaul · 07-05-2019, 08:09 AM

Hi there,
The autofocus on my Q-S1 doesn't function anymore. It does not matter with lens I use.
Is there any way I can fix this myself?

What happens when you try to focus? Is the display showing one or the AF modes, or MF?

Check the lens contacts in the camera body. If one is bent, dirty or otherwise deformed it may not autofocus.

Which lenses do you own?

Does manual focusing work with the lenses?
