[QUOTE="rhubarb, post: 280287, member: 22581"] [h=4][B][I]Manual Focus[/I][/B][/h]There are times when manually focusing will be better than using AF. Switch the Focus Mode Selector switch from AF to M to select manual focus. Some lenses have switches too, you only need to change on the DSLR or lens – not both.
