My Giga T Pro II Won't Focus Camera
Dec 22, 2015 16:13:26 #
I own the Giga T Pro II remote and the Canon T-3 camera.
The lens focuses fine and executes picures with no problem when nothing is attached.
However, when I attach the Giga T, the lens (which is set to AF) no longer focuses. I press the shutter release 1/2 way as per the instructions and nothing happens. I then press the shutter release all the way and the picture is taken. Of course the picture is out of focus.
Am I missing a setting somewhere? Does anyone know how to fix this?
The lens is a Canon EF 24-105 and the camera is set in Av at F4.0. Iso is set at 1600.

I assume by 'shutter release' you are referring to the 'shutter' on the remote.
Maybe these will help -

Did you ask the manufacturer? Perhaps there is some setting that you need to make or change... :shock:

Thanks,
Yes I've been through both. I guess it is worth going through the manual again though.

Not yet. I'll give them a try tomorrow, if no one on this site knows.
I'm just not looking forward to staying on hold. I guess I'm not being fair to the Hahnel people, but whenever I try to get information on electronics, it seems like I'm trying to understand a middle eastern accent.

Nope. Thanks for the response, but I do not have Back Button Focus Set.

Gitchiguni,
As it turns lout, the manufacturer is in Ireland. Could not find a US Phone # so I emailed them yesterday. I'm waiting for a response and I'll post it when it comes in.
