Same result unfortunately but you're right, I need to be firm. I come off as not knowing what I'm doing when I don't know where certain settings are.

Here is what the Canon guy told me to do, but he never really explained why. He said to rub a pencil erasor on the lens contact and use a microfiber towel on the body contact which I did. He asked me what mode I was shooting on and I said manual and he made me put it on any other setting so I did. He told me to put it on partial metering. Then he said to test it out. I did and it was still doing it and then he said to go to some tutorial on some website to learn more about the settings and that was it. Should I try calling back again and getting a differnt person?



Also, as far as the wideangle lens goes, I think I want the 10-22. Is that a good everyday lens?
