		I recently discovered that my 7D isn't working in liveview mode. When I press the shutter button it doesn't focus, just click fully as if to take a photo, only it doesn't actually take a photo. Before I take it to the Canon agent I was wondering whether anyone can suggest a setting or firmware problem that could cause this problem. My firmware is not the latest version.

		| One thing you can try is to do a reset to factory defaults. That should clear it if it was due to a software setting. Also check to make sure that the lens you are using is not set to manual focus. |

		I did check the lens, but that wouldn't account for the fact that the camera only pretended to take a photo.
 
 I'll have to try the reset later.

		Thanks,   kirbic. DPChallenge to the rescue once again. It was a software setting. I'm not sure what I did wrong, but I'll know what to do if it happens again.

		So am I,   kirbic. If I'd taken it to the Canon agent it would probably have cost me quite a lot just to find out there was nothing wrong with my camera.
