Best Answer

If you have an AF, or auto-focus lens (like the kit 18-55mm lens) you can focus your lens prior to filming, but cannot auto-focus while filming. To manually focus, switch the switch on the side of your lens to 'M' for manual. To focus, turn the outer focus ring on the lens until your subject matter is clear.

Will a Nikon g mount fit a Nikon d80 camera?

Yes, it will fit. However, you will still need to see if the lens you have has or does not have features like autofocus or CPU connectors that will carry all the info that your camera needs... If it is a Nikon Lens it will work fine. So will others like Sigma, Tamron and Tokina. Carl Zeiss may not give you all the functions but will work in manual mode.


How is a Nikon camera used properly?

There are many different Nikon cameras. The compact digital cameras from Nikon are mainly simple "shoot and point" cameras where you open the shutter, point the camera at what you want to take a picture of and press the shutter. Other Nikon cameras have an interchangeable lens and adjustable focus to improve picture quality.

What lens for a Nikon d5000 should you choose?

With few exceptions, you're going to be much better off only buying Nikkor lenses. Stay away from Sigma and Tamron. The D5000 doesn't have a focus motor, so only buy lenses AF-S, AF-I, or G lenses if you want auto focus. I'll assume you already have the mediocre kit lens (18-55mm). Next you should invest in a fast prime. The Nikkor 35mm f/1.8G AF-S or the Nikkor 50mm f/1.8G AF-S are both excellent lenses.

The Advanced Autofocus Feature Of The Nikon D90 Camera?

One of the most impressive features of the Nikon D90 camera is the amount of thought and technology involved in the autofocus system. Unlike many other cameras, in addition to advanced autofocus, the D90 camera also includes something known as scene recognition. This software inside of the camera actually isolates elements within a scene before a picture is taken and adjusts the focus of the lens in order to capture as much detail as possible. It is an often overlooked feature of the Nikon D90 camera.
