Out of the blue the AF isn't working. Double checked all settings and nothing is amiss. I then cleaned the lens and camera contacts and tried another couple lenses but the problem persists. I do see occasional flashes of the ball but mostly nothing at all that indicates the camera/lens is even attempting to focus.
I know this might seem pretty silly but did you check the auto/manual focus switch on the camera body? Make sure it is fully in auto. It’s easy for that switch to get moved to manual when changing lenses of putting a camera in a bag. I can’t tell you how many times I have hit that switch inadvertently. The other thing to check is do you have a full battery? I have had auto focus stop working when the camera is still showing 1/4 battery. That meter is not entirely accurate. Put a fully charged battery in. Two things that get over looked but are simple to check. Good luck.
