I can't figure out how to use the focus confirm chip? What setting should I be on? I've tried everything I can think of.

Assuming Nikon camera, there is either a round, green in-focus indicator, or a white indicator and two indicator arrows in the lower left of the viewfinder screen. You adjust the focus ring until the round indicator lights. Focus mode is forced to single point when you attach the lens.

I didn't Receive any instructions with mine. So I was going to order a pocket programming card to change settings. U plug your esc into card and u can go through settings. ?? Pretty sure it will work.

We just followed the instructions under "Settings" one by one (very slowly). Basically you will be pressing the UP and OK button for each selection after switching it to ON. Try again. It should work. Thank you.

I had the same experience, I was not able to get it to focus at all . I have tried during different time of the night/ and month with no luck.

I truly don't know, that's a shame. Have you tried tricking it by turning it on WITH the lens cover still on, like it's saying, and then removing it to see if the message goes away? Then see if it functions normally after that. Other than that, I have no ideas or suggestions, sorry. I haven't had this problem. I'm sure a local camera shop could help you troubleshoot, possibly even for free if it doesn't require a repair. :)

I searched the web for video + instructions and found a few helpful sites. It's not hard to do - but you will find discrepancies in the pictures used in the instructions - set-to-set variances, where things are located, what they look like, etc. use you head and take your time - the chip fixes the problem - it's worth the effort

I am also VERY frustrated with this. Many of my pictures are coming out blurry despite holding the button half way down to focus before firing. The manual is mute on the subject. I just called Canon and they were basically no help---just said to make sure the flash was up when firing inside. I have the SD card in that it came with. Any other ideas??Thanks!!!!!!

I have used this on a 5D3, unfortunately the AF confirm chip has not worked on any camera I have used it on.

You might not be able to. When I received mine, it was blurry. I threw it away because of how frustrated I got with it. It never focused.

I have the same problem with it. It seems like if you remember to turn the keyboard off after using it, then on again before opening the text editing program of your choice, it tends to sync better. But, that's still not a fix because you have to actually remember to turn it off (which I don't). I sent them an email regarding this issue to see if they had any tips and tricks for it, but never got a response.

HI I bought 2 sets and have the same problem. There is a button on the back you can push to change the setting, but I think there are a million settings to go through. I seemed to push the correct number of times for one set and it is on without flashing so I know it works, but the other one I never go to work and I heva tried everything. Good luck.

Perfectly? 1. Have you been able to use the LCD display to set a timed interval exposure? 2. did you try to use the grip's arrow buttons to move the focus point while in live mode?

It should work fine: if you get the one with the chip, you will be able to use the auto exposure and get focus confirmation.

Hello Martin, Go to your menu and navigate to the number one page. You'll see "Release w/o Lens", change that to enable and you're set! Hope that helps!

Worked for me too. THANK YOU!I held down the +, THEN turned on the Flip. Was brought into Setup and changed the date/saved it by pressing arrow as was displayed. It appeared to be changed. Not sure how to check it, but will call it a plus to get this far. Just learning how to do video now.Thanks again.Rozhttp://www.RozOnTwitter.com
