It says autofocus. Is there an option for manual focus?

No, it would be great if it had that option though. I haven't had any issues with the auto focus because the camera itself can easily be moved around.

You have to use manual mode when using the telephoto lense it dose not have a focus motor in it

I don't know but I don't think that you can do anything but manually focus with these lens babies... they are not designed to autofocus so there is a bit of a learning and experimenting with them till you get the look that you want....each aperture ring gives you a slightly different look... so you have to know where to direct your focus.. and that has to be done manually....

No, autofocus doesn't work. You have to set the camera to manual mode and manually focus. However, it's not that difficult once you activate the zooming mode to help you focus.

No. But you can use manual focus, or with autofocus set on the center, maintain the focusat that distace by holding the shutter button half way. Alternately with autofocuse set on subject the focuse will follow the chosen subject with okay but not perfect results.

The manual focusing is "by-wire". It's very natural, I found it easy to get used to and easy to use.

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

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

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.

I have the gf3 and mine will say that if I have it on autofocus. Put the focus in manual and click away after getting the focus, shutter, iso etc how you want for your photo. Fun lil lens. Ive gotten some great shots with this.

Absolutely, it has a full manual mode in addition to modes that allow 1 adjustment like aperture or shutter speed, and yes you can manually focus.

If you mean "does this have autofocus," then no, or at least not on the Canon-compatible lens. You have to manually focus this lens. However, if you simply don't want to deal with focus, or don't want any Bokeh (you want everything in the frame sharp and in focus), you can set the lens focus to infinity, and you're good to go.

It will not autofocus. If you purchase this lens you will have to manually focus all of your shots

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.

I just figured out how to do this today with my new lens. Since Sigma did not put the autofocus/manual focus switch on the lens itself, you need to go into the information menu (the i menu on the lower left side of the camera) and set your focus mode to manual (change the AF-A on the right side to MF). Once you override the autofocus on the camera, use the outer ring on the lens to focus. Hope this helps! Took me a little bit of research to find this. :)

Yes it has a M on the mode selector knob for all manual. You can also select aperture priority and you set speed. It has has a shutter speed priority also you set aperture. Then program and full auto. So yes you can have it function full manual and manual focus to if you want.
