Is it worth using if during a shoot i need to manually adjust focus or zoom???

Worth every penny. No matter if you manually focus or zoom. Set your camera to how you want the shot to look first. This device is to prevent shaking or blur while moving. Every time I use it I get the shot I need. I hope this helped.

You can. But it'll take some time practicing so you don't get all shaky with the video. To manually focus I'd just go with hand held

Depends on your skill / agility. You need to hold the rig. This rig does NOT "float" by itself. There's a rear leg which will balance over your shoulder. Hypothetically you could use that and hold the rig with one hand, and use the other hand to make zoom / focus adjustments. If you're doing critical changes in focus or zoom, you might want to use a tripod instead. That's my guess. You're going to get this same issue with ANY such DSLR rig at this price point, so it's a moot issue, IMHO.

Yes. Focus is pretty good but I would recommend stabilizing it on a tripod & with manual focus for the sharpest possible images.

Yes you should have no problem focusing this camera. You can adjust the dial for your vision. This is a great camera, you will love it.

Yes, you can focus manually. Manual focus is on the lens. Just circulate the lens, and you will manual focus the camera.

Yes! But you lose "matrix metering" and the auto-focus feature. Can be use it only a Manual mode, wich is actually good, if you're in a "learning curve" :-)

No. You can adjust many things manually - ISO. Exposure etc. the flash has two red eye reduction modes.

Yes, you always have to focus this lens manually. It works great for shooting video but can be really tough to focus manually for photos.

Probably not in your case, I only use mine to update firmware and adjust autofocus parameters both of which wouldn't do much for full time manual operation.

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

nope, nope, nope. You can use an autofocus lens on it....so long as you manually focus the lens.

I think it is your choice. If in really low light I would use manual focus because auto focus does not respond very well. Hope this helps you.

You have the option to do either. There is a switch on both the lenses that come in this package that can be set to Automatic OR manual. This is a very user friendly camera, especially for beginners.

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...

The camera has a manual program where you can set the values of aperture, ISO, and exposure so yes, I'd say you can. The larger the aperture, the greater blurr-out-effect you get on the objects out of focus. And yes, you can even choose the focus manually.

Yup, though its fully manual, so no automatic focus, but if you can, put it on F8 and a hair before the 'infinity' zoom and things will come out nicely.http://jixrphoto.files.wordpress.com/2013/11/img_2602-21.jpg?w=610here is a shot i did with it, you can get some cool fun use out of it.

this lens does not have an adjustable zoom. What u c is what u get. Better 4 still shots. Focusing is another issue. on a moving subject u would want to use A I Servo mode while holding shutter button 1/2 way down then fully down to snap pic. Im not fully exper with this lens but i believe it would b difficult to to obtain non blurry pic if not exper'd. With practice I SUPPOSE ONE COULD MAKE IT WORK. Just my opion

There is an Auto function, but it's not that slow. These units (I have five of them) are best used for repositioning a shot then holding still. You can follow action only in wide angle... zoomed in is really jerky.
