Yesterday I went to Aero-India 2009

There only I realized that my A540 is failing to autofocus at telephoto zoom :S (only telephoto, wide angle and macro is perfect)

I tried MF also but no joy :mad:

Few times it managed to focus but most of the time it was out of focus :huh:

I tried both indoor and outdoor shooting, but pictures are just out of focus :mad:

Tried factory resetting, tried everything which I thought might fix the problem.

What can be the possible problem??

few pictures for reference to the problem:

Hmm yes its a definite problem. I believe you need to get your camera checked at the service centre. Canon have a large service center presence so I believe you wont have too much trouble servicing it.
 
means basically it's a hardware failure? I thought it's software/firmware.

And repairing a digicam might cost nearly equal to the original cost.
 
^^ To be frank I really have no clue if its a hardware failure or not. But AFAIK any AF issue is due to hardware rather than a software problem.

You can at least ask the service centre for an estimate to check the repair cost.
 
The only time I saw that much blurring on telephoto on my 720IS is when I accidentally covered the AF lamp with my finger. the cam assumed Im shooting for macro lol!
