Canon 350D beeper?

Hi all,

I have a Canon 350D SLR. Recently I have noticed that the beeper does not
work in "AUTO" mode even though it is switched "ON". I would be most
interested to hear from any other users as to whether their beep works or
not. If you have a body that beeps where is the loudspeaker output?

Many thanks in advance for any replies.

The focus confirmation beep doesn't occur if you are in AF servo focus mode.
Does yours not beep in one-shot focus mode?

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

I doubt that would help.

Give Canon a call at 1-800-OK-CANON. They people there are actually
helpful.
