Thank you for your comments, I really thought you may have hit the solution
but it was not to be. When I am in "FULL AUTO MODE" the camera
automatically selects AI Focus, if I change to "P" mode the camera
automatically changes to "ONE SHOT" mode but the beep still does not sound .
If I was to reload the current firmware do you think that may fix the
problem
