How do you manually focus an autofocus lens?
On the side of your lens, look for a switch labeled “AF – MF,” which is short for Autofocus and Manual Focus, respectively. When you’re ready to shoot in MF mode, switch your lens to that setting. At this point, half-pressing the shutter — what you’d normally do to find focus in AF mode — is a useless action.
Can you auto focus in manual mode?
Yes, you can use AF in manual mode. In manual mode, you are telling the camera what shutter speed, aperture and ISO to use. It has nothing to do with focus. You can use any autofocus mode you’d like in manual mode: manual focus, single AF, continuous AF or Auto Area AF.

What is the best macro adapter for MFT photography?
A fun and inexpensive option is the Raynox DCR-250 macro adapter. By attaching it to the end of a lens with a focal length of at least 25mm in MFT terms, you can take interesting macro images that are both sharp and detailed. We often use ours with the M.Zuiko 75mm f/1.8 mentioned in the portrait section.
