Need Sony A77 autofocus advice

[kenerickson]

I recently upgraded from a A57 to a A77. When I mount my Tokina 75-300 lens , it is constantly hunting and trying to focus without me pressing the shutter button half-way. I went through the book, and the onboard help menus without finding a solution. I do not remember this lens doing this on the A57 body. Am I missing something?

Do you have eye start AF enabled?

I just checked, and yes , I do.

So is that the issue? Sounds like it...

I just turned off eye start autofocus and remounted the 75-300. Took care of it. Thanks Conrad! The help is very much appreciated.
