[QUOTE="Mike D90, post: 271131, member: 17556"] As DraganDL said you have to manually turn the focus barrel ring to manually focus the AF-S lens. However, you will have to switch the auto focu OFF on the camera. At least, I do on mine. I have a switch on the left camera body for AF / MF. Now, if you are having issues [I]achieving[/I] focus, that is a different matter entirely. Most of these DSLR's come with a matte focus screen with no split prism to give you a focus indication inside the viewfinder. If you use the viewfinder to compose your shot you would look in the lower left corner of the finder screen and look for the green focus confirmation LED to light up. If you compose using live view LCD screen I am not sure what indicates focus other than seeing a sharp image on the screen. I had issues with this and I use my viewfinder like I did with all of my film cameras. [/QUOTE]
