Thank you, when funds allow I will of course consider getting it repaired/replacing it but right now that simply isn't an option hence me coming on here. Certain posters have made me rather wish I didn't! However I've definitely had some helpful advice from others.

Well I'm sorry you feel I'm contradicting myself. I fail to see how I have done that. The only confusion is being created by you that I can see, by providing unhelpful posts belittling my choice of gear. Yes I have had some good advice by others, but not by you.

Why are you so interested in my business? I've not asked for help with my business. Merely mentioned that I had one. I wish I had not mentioned this. It's irrelevant, I'm asking for help with the camera. It doesn't matter what I am photographing. It doesn't matter that I could use manual focus...

Well, to be honest yes you are being rude. I've not asked for any advice or opinions on my business. I've stated that I do not have and can not currently afford a backup camera. I can no simply magic money/a backup camera out of the air. Perhaps I will take on board previous posters advice that...

A factory reset has been done also.

I am using one shot, thanks

Thank you this is really helpful, I'm glad it's not just me having this problem.

The lens used for this test is my Sigma Art 18-35 f1.8. I also use a Tamron 70-200 g2, and a canon 85mm f1.8. I haven't used the canon lens in a little while... I'll run the same test with that later.

Thanks, that's definitely something easy I can try! Indoors but in fairly good lighting. No flash. 1/160, ISO 250, f1.8, Focal length 18mm. This lens is a Sigma ART 18-35 f1.8 Not sure on the mirror lock up thing, not a feature I've used/no idea if I have it. They weren't without issue -...

Sorry there's just lots of replies and haven't had time to sit down and address them all properly yet :)

It's only a very small business on the side, do not have (can't afford) a back up yet unfortunately!
