Ok so my Tamron is not working when i put the lens on AF (switch on the side of lens).

Symptoms:

1. when i half press the shutter button to meter the shutter closes up ( or mirror flips up) and stays up till i release it.
2. No photos are taken even though shutter button is pressed. (video works)
3.when put in MF (manual focus) mode via the side switch i am now to take photos...and meter ect.


Anybody knows what could be wrong?

anybody? this really is puzzling me.

edit :ok just finding this out....this only happens when i'm using the LCD. if i use the VF to take stills it can actually take the pic. so iz it some setting in the camera?

Ok so I figured it out. The AFdrive mode was on "AFquick". This is what happens when u don't read the manual :) actually didn't get one cuz my friend that brought it into the country for me lost it.
