PRO TIP USING MANUAL FOCUS

Camera settings are full of technical terms and jargon, and we use the word manual in two different ways when we talk about cameras. Unlike the Manual shooting mode, which allows you to set exposure parameters like the aperture and shutter speed, the Manual Focus mode allows you to change your focus using the focusing ring on your lens. This is commonly engaged by flicking a switch on the lens barrel, though it is sometimes set on one of the menu screens. The Manual

Focus mode (MF) lets you change the focus distance of your lens and has no bearing on exposure settings like aperture, shutter speed and ISO value.
