How can I make my d7100 focus in manual mode when shutter is pushed halfway down?

[QUOTE="mathom33, post: 291756, member: 22304"] I see where the difference lies when comparing the GX1 to the D7100. The only switch I had on the GX1 lenses (if any) was to turn image stabilization on or off. Their camera's must be set to the AF/MF setting (on the body) which overrides the lens in order to pinpoint your focus. I think that their AF/MF ability makes it easier if needing to focus manually after it put you close to your focal point; it also was a pain if you forgot to turn it back to AF and accidentally bumped the focusing ring. I noticed that with the Sigma lens I have, the focusing ring rotates as it is focusing. It also is restricted to how far it turns; the Lumix lens focus ring would infinitely spin regardless of what setting it was in. The Sigma has 3 switches; one that turns OS on/off, one that switches from AF/M, and one that locks the lens in place when fully retracted. This doesn't give leave me with an AF/MF option; I'll have to learn to manually focus faster, or learn to turn both switches (body and lens) off in order to do what I need. Here are three examples of what I was trying to capture. [ATTACH=CONFIG]82754._xfImport[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]82755._xfImport[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]82756._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
