<< Hi folks
 several month ago, I got  a used Eos3. It was really new to see and still in
 warranty (31 May 01).
 I made a lot of rolls since then getting quite good results.
 Yesterday I noticed a funny thing: the AF seems to focus on a slightly wrong
 focal plane. If I set manually to the correct focus and press the release
 button the camera moves the lens out of focus and then blinks red the
 squares and green the confirmation light in the viewfinder. I've never
 noticed this and probably my DOF was always enough not to show this problem
 on the slides.
 
 I've tried in different modes (P, Av , Tv) and with different AF selection
 modes (automatic all the sensors, manually the center one, with EYe) but the
 problem seems to be always there. Trying and retrying with the same subject
 at the end I manage to achieve (the spelling may be wrong, sorry) the AF but
 this is annoying.
 
 Has anybody experienced this problem before and what could be the cause????
 
 @#!!@# the warranty expired three days ago.............

Hi,
What this could be - is that your focusing screen is a bit missaligned. I had 
similar problem with my RT when I put a grid screen in it - camera was 
focusing on what was  not in focus to me. So, I just took the screen out and 
put it back in and everything got alligned and my eye matches the camera's 
AF. So, I'd try adjusting the F.screen.
