[QUOTE="pforsell, post: 668327, member: 7240"] Brand new camera in an unopened box? Then the autofocus should activate by a half press of the shutter button. If on the other hand that camera has been demoed in the store, then maybe some settings have been changed, and the autofocus is activated by AF-ON button (if your camera has one, I've never used D7200?). Just to be sure, do the two button reset. This should enable autofocusing by a half press of the shutter button, in case someone has altered the settings. I'd do a gentle cleaning of the lens contact pins and the corresponding camera contacts. There might be some oxidization after a long storage (that camera model has been discontinued over a year and your particular unit may have been manufactured a long time ago). A gentle wipe with a non-dusting microfiber cloth is usually sufficient. Do not use any liquids. If cleaning doesn't help, either the lens or camera might need to be replaced. Don't worry. Mass-produced electronics sometimes have small problems. Better to have it now than a week after the warranty period has expired. :) [/QUOTE]
