[QUOTE="aroy, post: 298758, member: 16090"] The switch on the lense is for auto focus. In "A" position it will auto focus in the "M" you focus manually (it just switches the motor off) For manual exposure you have to go to the dial on the camera [IMG]http://4.static.img-dpreview.com/reviews/nikon-d5300/Images/top-001.jpg?v=2816[/IMG] The big round dial. Between the "Effects" and "Scene" on the left you see the letters (here it is set to "P"). M = Manual exposure A = Aperture priority exposure S = Shutter priority exposure P = Program mode - the camera decides the best Aperture/Shutter/ISO combination You have to set the camera to "M" to use manual exposure In case you have the "G" lense, then do the following to set it to infinity . Set the camera in AF (on the lense) . Put the camera on a tripod . Focus on a distant object . Move the setting to "manual" on the lense That should set your lense to infinity. [/QUOTE]
