New Nikon d3000 won't release shutter while in autofocus mode. Have DX 18-55 VR lens that came with camera. Shutter releases only when I push the exposure/focus lock button. Manual focus mode works fine.
If a lens has an "A - M" switch, move it to "M" to manually focus. If the switch
says "M/A
- M " then leave on M/A (unless you're going to be taking several or more in manual mode), as these lenses may be focused manually at any time in either position. As soon as you tap
the shutter button in M/A you return to autofocus.
More advanced lenses, like the 18-200mm, 70-300mm VR and 18-135mm,
and any lens with an M/A position, may be focused manually at any time
without moving any switches. Leave them in their A or A/M positions.
I hope this helps and good luck!
