<p>Hi Mikael.<br>

Didn't go more than 3-4 meters deep this time! i took off the battery and card for more than one day with doors open,but no change... :(<br>

Thanks anyway...<br /></p>

<p>I got the camera one year now and i am really pleased especially for thr underwater photos that produces,but 2 days ago the camera blocked!<br>

I used it first time since October for underwater photos and no problem. Next day all that is working is the button on/off and the shutter button! nothing else!no zoom,no menu,nothing!<br>

If someone has any idea to help me please send,cause i really need it and can't go to canon service at the moment!<br>

Thank you!</p>

<p>Yes i've already tryed the focus-button!Ill try what Brian suggests about the 'gold contact' and if i see no improvement,i guess that i'll have to send it for repair!Thank you guys!</p>

<p>I was testing outdoor with sun light!No i'm stressed cause i have never sent something for rapair and for my bad luck,the guarantee is expired 2 months now! : ( Thank you!</p>

 

<p>I have a little bit more than a year this lens and i was sutisfied until now!But lately i noticed that the lens found some difficulty in focusing.I didn't pay much attention,cause i use also 17-40mm f/4 L and 100mm f/2.8 and they are quite fast in focusing,so i thought it's just my impression!<br>

Today i borowed my brothers 40d and tryed all the lenses to see the differences from my 400d and to my surprise,when i mounted 70-200 i saw there is a serious problem! Whenever i tryed to focus from a close subject to long distance,it was almost not moving!i had to press several times the shutter button until it finally focused!<br>

If i stayed in about the similar distance,it worked almost ok.If i changed the problem was there!I tryed also the button for 1.3m & 3m to infinity,but didnt make any difference. Tryed 2 times to take-off and re-mount the lence,but no improvement!finally tryed with my 400d as last hope,but it was the same...<br>

Has anyone had the same problem? Or any ideas of what's wrong?<br>

Thanks!</p>

<p>Thank you Chip for your time!</p>

<p>I know that my question is a little complicated to have a simple answer!<br>

Xiao you are wright about the money problem,we have to survive also!<br>

J.C. thanks for your idea! Haven't finished any biology university,but i know quite a lot of things,cause since i was a kid i liked nature (of course not a biologist ) and studied about it through books,tv,net! Finding a Pro to become a n assistand is a good idea,but i think it's kind of hard to find someone etc...<br>

Thanks anyway!</p>

<p>Could anyone tell me how do nature photographers work? i mean for a begginer,how can he find work? There are agencies that you can aply for,or they just go on a project and then search for magazines etc to sell their photos? I would like to try,but have no idea what school to try or is it better to start from normal photography and then change? Thank you!</p>
