Can you adjust the aperture/shutter speeds or manually focus with this camera?

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.

Yes. However it does not allow use of automatic focus or aperture settings...you must manually focus and set aperture ... Aperture priority works, or use full manual exposure.

Yes... *BUT* there is no automation here. No data pass-through to let the camera communicate with the lens and no way for the camera to adjust the aperture. You will be able to use it, but unless you have a lens that will let you adjust the aperture manually, you'll be stuck using it at the highest f-stop/lowest amount of light setting.

Yes. The "M" setting on the dial allows you to set ISO, aperture, shutter, etc. manually.

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.

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...

From the owners manual: By adjusting shutter speed, you can shoot a moving object with a different representation, such as freezing action, or emphasizing movement with its trace. 1. Set the mode dial to (Shutter Speed Priority Shooting). 2. Press on the control button, then select the desired value. 3. Focus on your subject and shoot. The aperture value is set automatically to achieve correct exposure. You can shoot at your favorite exposure by manually setting shutter speed and aperture value. 1. Set the mode dial to (Manual Exposure Shooting). 2. Press on the control button. 3. Select the desired shutter speed, and select the aperture (F value). Select a shutter speed from 1/2000 seconds to 30 seconds. When zoom is set fully to W, you can select an aperture of F3.4 or F8.1. When zoom is set fully to T, you can select an aperture of F6.5 or F8.0.

Yes you can. Pressing the shutter button half way will focus and then press it rest of the way to take picture(s)

You can manually adjust the aperture or allow the camera to set the f stop. As far as auto focus the lens does have a motor

The Auto mode attempts to do this automatically (see manual page 44) but you can also control it directly by using Shutter Priority mode with a speed above 1/250. See manual page 49.

If it can, I have not found that setting yet. I recommend the Cannon Rebel Xti. I use it at work and it is amazing. I set it on action mode and you can snap away, just hold the button! And it has settings to change the aperture for different lighting.

Usually yes. If you're in an auto mode there me be a delay for focus / light metering etc like most dslrs. However none of that in manual.

I also took a good look at the controls, and see no evidence of aperture/f-stop controls. As has been mentioned by others, you can adjust ISO and EV. If your goal is to change the depth of field, that's not very useful. The only options I can think of are to try the Background Defocus mode, or use software after the fact to change your depth of field. I don't currently have Photoshop, but I'd imagine it does a fine job of defocus. I do sometimes use Pixlr Express on Android. It does a nice job with background blur, very adjustable. Good luck!

Hi Amazon Consumer, you cannot adjust the ISO setting when in Aperture Priority mode in this camera. The ISO can only be adjusted in Manual Exposure Shooting, Program Auto or (Advanced Sports Shooting) in Scene Selection. Thanks_Mitch

Yes, it allows you to make your own adjustments manually, this includes shutter speed, iso and many other functions.

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.

To my knowledge there isn't any way to manually focus these cameras. I bought mine as a refurbished unit and it has an incredibly clear image. You might have to contact Samsung.
