The description says the telephoto is autofocus but a reviewer says otherwise. Which is it?

The 70-300 lens is not autofocus. The 18-55 can be set as either manual or autofocus.

I bought this camera for my son as a gift. I did tried a little before I gave it to him. I did not have issue with autofocusing. Of course, it depends on what you are shooting and what lens you have it on. I did remember my son was saying that with the 200 mm zoom lens, the focus may be slower. I bought a Sony NEX7 latter myself. I do not have 200 zoom lens so I can not comment on that. If I need to zoom in for a shot, I use Nikon 70-200 lens on Nikon D700. Sony NEX camera is a great all around camera. I take that everywhere I go. Great image quality.

I bought this lens but then returned it because it did not autofocus. I can't speak regarding its performance. You can pick up a 50-200mm autofocus VR lens on amazon for relatively cheap - I got one used for $100. It's a good lens.

It has a setting for manual or auto-focus on the side. I love the camera and kit. Great value!

This is autofocus, the othe is manual and is impossible with a long lens. As outrageous as the price, it is the only one that works. I tried them all.

It does. It has, like many, a "flower" setting which allows you to get right up close. Exactly how close I'm not sure. The technical specs probably tell you how close you can get before autofocus doesn't work. (which is what happens when you get too close)

I believe the techs say the auto focus is 7 frames per second. I'm not a pro, very amateur. I do set up the focus ahead of time by aiming at the subject and holding the button halfway down for like half a second to give the camera a chance to focus and then I push all the way down to get the shot. Also, if you turn off the welcome screen, the start up time is much faster. I would go to a local store and try out the camera in person and see how you like it before you buy. There are Nikon cameras that are faster, but more expensive and for pros. Usually when I get a bad shot, it is because I had the wrong setting or something, not the camera.

That light is the autofocus. A trick is to point the light to something the same distance away while pressing the shutter button halfway. Once it is done focusing, move the camera to capture the real scene. Not easy to do.

Yes, it's autofocus is quiet an all weather lens that covers some very practical focal distances. The screw motor lens are very loud in contrast. You'll love the camera- although if you're new to Pentax make sure this what you want. Lens can be a little costly if you don't anything invested in the system yet just like with any other camera system. The camera will surprise you with great results- take the appropriate time and learn to use it well!

The telephoto feature would probably work on a 35 mm camera, but I would not expect the auto focus to work.

Manual focus as well as an auto focus feature... When zooming in it locks in the subject and captures an amazing photo.... It has a nice stabilization feature that captures a subject in movement as well... Hope this helps

Hi Michelle! Yes, this camera have an auto focus. It has a good performance in Macro function and in shoots with good lighting.

This lens is only manual focus. No Auto anything - think of it as a lens on the end of a slinky.

The lens does auto focus when the camera and lens are in auto focus mode but you can also select manual focus if desired.

The camera is terrific and has several focus options, however, it does not have a manual focus option as you would find in an SLR camera. This Samsung model has a terrific telephoto lens and several electronic 'modes' settings that allow the camera to select the best focus options for the specific scenario ... Macro, landscapes, closeups, portrait etc. The camera auto-focuses to the setting you choose or can auto-focus on the fully automatic setting. You cannot manipulate the lens to manually focus like you would on an SLR camera. I have several Canon SLR cameras along with this Samsung. Consider this Samsung a big point-and-shoot camera with a fantastic lens and wonderful internet capabilities. I especially like the connection features with my Samsung Galaxy S4 phone. It takes great pictures and video.

This lens does not have an autofocus motor and the more expensive one not only has a focus motor but has better optics as well. I have this lens and still takes good pictures.
