Auto Focus mismatch?

I've never heard of such a thing. Are they talking about the "DRIVE * AF" button in conjunction with the switch on the lens? The "AF-On" button as I understand it is for back button focusing. I would check the "Custom Settings" section of the menus. Here's a link to the same controls for the 7d, which is pretty close to identical. You access the Custom Controls for the 7d2 by hitting the Q button and then selecting Custom Controls, far right on the second line. Good luck.

So far that is a better explanation than anything I've found in the manual. Thanks!

Tamron 18-270mm Lens
Mine is less than a year old and still creeps whether pointed slightly up or down. I'll be interested to see if anyone has a solution.

I think so - it's the only "AF-On" switch I can find. Thanks for the link - I'll study it.

Auto Focus mismatch?
I'm slowly learning to use my newish Canon 7DMII with a Tamron 18-270mm zoom lens. On several occasions I found my AF shots out of focus. Only recently I spotted a message in my view finder saying "Turn on autofocus switch". Up until then I just made sure the lens switch was set to AF. Now I'm thinking I also have to press the "AF-On" button on the top right of the camera body when I am preparing to shoot. Yes? No? Maybe?
I can find no clear description of this process in the Canon manual. Is the dual requirement caused by having a different make lens on the Canon camera body?
