Re new: OM-D-E-M1. Even though I have reviewed Page 73 of the online instruction manual, I cannot change from manual focus to auto focus. Help?

If you have certain lenses the focus ring pulls forward and back to enable Manual focus - if you can see a distance scale on the lens , you are in MF. And you might think AF doesn't work - just push the focus ring forward to get into AF

If you are using the 12-40 lens you have to slide the ring on the front of the lens to achieve Auto Focus. It is easy to bump it and make it manual focus only.

Hmmmm...haven't tried to do that yet. Will try next week after things calm down here, and let you know.

Some high-end lenses have focusing ring that can be pulled back into a MF only mode. If this is the case simply push the focus ring forward. Otherwise, press the AF button (above the on/off switch) and use the left and right direction buttons until S-AF is selected.

None that I found. Just open the Mobius up, loosen the lens set screw, take the old lens out and screw in the new one. Plug the Mobius into your PC and start it as a web cam to focus. After that tighten the lens set screw and your good to go. Tons of information can be found at rcgroup forum.

Try going to the custom menu and turning on Shoot w/o Lens. The lens is manual and the camera cannot use automatic settings.

I am also VERY frustrated with this. Many of my pictures are coming out blurry despite holding the button half way down to focus before firing. The manual is mute on the subject. I just called Canon and they were basically no help---just said to make sure the flash was up when firing inside. I have the SD card in that it came with. Any other ideas??Thanks!!!!!!

If your lens has an M setting (most do) you can focus manually in all camera modes. You may not like the results, however so be sure to try all the options and practise a lot. Have fun!

Here is a REALLY obvious one. You can switch between manual and autofocus on this lense by pushing and pulling the autofocus ring in or out. It reads AF (autofocus) when pulled out, MF when pulled back in. This is distinct to Tokina, so not intuitive if you're used to other lenses. This lens autofocuses extremely well on my D7000 - it's my sharpest lens.

Hi NJ. This is not normal. I used a Sony A 55 with the same lens. check 2 things. 1. the Camera Body should have the Manual Focus activated. if you activate the Autofocus in the camera body, then it will supercede your lens settings. 2. the Tokina lens is a little different in terms of physically changing the focus mode. There is no AF/MF switch. you have to hold the focal ring and pull it in front or back and it will lock the AF or MF mode. let me know if this helps.

In auto mod it changes. But in the manual mode you select your f and focus manually.

No auto focus supported, try the Auto adapter for E-mount cameras.B00D9BKLX8

Sorry I just saw the incoming email. Let me understand first. Are you saying that there is no way to do an "autof" on your camera with the lens? Try half way press the shutter see if the focus can be achieved.

the lens does not allow you to fine focus manually in autofocus mode. you would have to set it to manual focus.

Definitely turn ON your AF-assist Beam. This is a beam of light that helps your camera to auto focus more accurately. Try evaluative metering instead of the center weighted avg. Evaluative metering will cover a greater range of complex lighting situations. M3 will allow you to focus better without camera shake in the zoom capacity up to 46x digital (pg 81 of your manual) but your pixels are greatly reduced so playback and prints at a larger size will be compromised. Unless you really need to get clear photos at a great distance stick with L superfine as mentioned above. Try keeping the ISO in Auto. And please comment again so we know if anything has worked for you. Definitely turn ON your AF-assist Beam. This is a beam of light that helps your camera to auto focus more accurately.

Hi NJ. difficlut to explain in words. there are youtube videos you can check. . 1. Activate the MF in the body 2. Pull the focal ring of the lens to MF mode. you need to do both.

Thanks, Philip. I kept mine, still really pleased. Learned that shooting in "Auto" is my best friend right now (clear crisp photos at any distance from macro to nearly all zoom), but glad to hear the "shaken when stirred" is not a sign of something wrong, or about to go wrong. Best wishes.

focus can be used not only manual but also autmatic! it works in both of modes, you can choose

I don't think so, I've been manually focusing since the day I started using it.....My suggestion, go to photography store and ask them WHICH adapters allow autofocusing...
