Canon 1DMKIII not autofocusing.

->> I haven't shot with the 1DmkIII in about a month. When I pulled her out today I couldn't get the auto focus to work. I tried on a few different lenses and no luck. Tried cleaning the contacts, no auto focus. I've tried the same lenses on the 5D and they're focusing just not on the 1D.

Any suggestions on troubleshooting or trying to somehow reset the 1D? I've tried pulling the battery a couple of times. I'm not getting any error codes.

Thanks in advance.

->> Hey Daniel!

Did you ever get it to work? I know I had focus issues with my MarkIV and after I restored the original settings, it focused as it should again. Hope you found the solution.
