To set manual focus, touch the Fn button and the button to change is under the white balance menu on the left. Please note, you must be in expert mode to do so.

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

You can shut the auto focus off in the camera settings and then use the outer ring on the lense to focus yourself. The higher up lenses you can buy separate have a selector on the lense that you can cut auto focus on and off with as well.

Yes by turning the focus ring on the lens. I got a deal on this camera. I love it it does so much for the price.

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

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.

Yes, you can set it to use continuous focus or focus and lock. I believe if you google it you can download the manual.

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

Sorry, no. There is no mechanism for auto focus on this lens (difficult for this type of usage anyhow).

I know that it is possible, but I don't know how. I even bought a adaptor for my sony alpha 330, but i didn't know how toget focus.

Thank you for asking. Yes you can, but you will need to manually focus as there is no electronics in this adapter.

There isn't "manual" focus like you have with an SLR or a DSLR lens. The method described on page 106 of the manual used to be called pre-focusing which also works with AF SLR/DSLR lenses. This method will only work before you start recording in video mode.

yes, just set the camera and lens to auto focus. Go to Dpreview.com for a complete review. Good luck and Happy Shooting!

You can set to manual focus as such: 1. Set the focus selector switch to [MF], which displays on the screen. 2. Press the setting wheel to set [MF] to a selected state. 3. Rotate the setting wheel to display the focus range on the screen. Press the left/right arrow keys or rotate the setting wheel to focus on the subject (use the cursor button to make slight adjustments). That should do it. Enjoy yourself. This has proven to be an amazing camera, with possibilities I don't get even with the M!

Good news! Yes, you can do it. Skill calls it the manual mode. Just press the mode button 3 times until indicator LED turns red instead of green. And now you could tilt it at whichever angle desirable.

Autofocus does not work with this adaptor. Use manual focus. It's like driving a stick shift car - once you learn, you will have more fun.

No! Only the Focus can be manually adjusted. The "Iris" and or Aperture leaves are electronically controlled only..

Can one simply turn off the autofocus and use the manual focus ring while in video mode? I hope so, I just ordered a HS20. Should have it early next week.

Yes, I've used them with both. Focus is a little bit slower and most times I had to manually adjust also because it didn't focus exactly where I wanted it to. So when I use these, I use DMF as my focus setting.
