[QUOTE="fotojack, post: 49026, member: 16"] Ahh, OK...I think I have it. The 18-55mm lens you're using...is it an AF-S model? VR? If so, the lens determines the focus when you're in Auto mode. When in Manual mode, everything is in manual, even the focusing! YOU have to use the focus ring (the very front of the lens) to focus. That's why it's called Manual. :) There's a switch on the lens....A_M. When that switch is set to M, everything has to be done manually....zooming and focusing. When the switch is in A, just the focusing is automatic. You still have to zoom by hand. I hope this clears it up for you. :) [/QUOTE]
