poseidonsenforcer 0 Posted July 9, 2014 Hello, First, my setup is- T3i in a Sea & Sea housing, using 2 ys-d1 strobes (connected with fiber optic cable) and a sola 1200 focus light (with red light). I shoot with a Tokina 10-17 lens or a Canon EF 17-40 I've switched my T3i over to be single point focus when autofocusing and things are typically fine, but sometimes i've noticed that the camera won't snap a photo even when I am getting a red "in focus" dot in the viewfinder. It seems like the camera is busy or something... which has resulted in many missed critter shots! Am I doing something wrong, or is this normal? Does this happen on the fancier 7d/5d? Is it because I am sometimes using a full frame lens? Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ram 0 Posted July 9, 2014 Are you using your strobe with those shots? Are you on live view? Is your smile detector on? Ram Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
poseidonsenforcer 0 Posted July 9, 2014 (edited) Yes using strobes, Manual camera settings- strobes on. No live view, BUT... I just realized I had my "AF Mode" set to "Live Mode" which seems like the wrong setting? I just changed it to "AF Mode = Quick" Maybe that was it?! Also what AF Mode is best for underwater? One Shot, AI Focus, or AI Servo? Edited July 9, 2014 by poseidonsenforcer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
