When I've seen that before it's usually due to the camera being dropped on the lens and jamming up the motor in it. I'd suggest contacting Nikon or the store where you bought it.

It doesn't allow me to take a shot. On a lense itself, there are two settings A and M. When it it is on M it takes a blurry shot, but on A setting doesn't allow. Please, help me.

M means Manual Focus. If you set the lens to this then you need to turn the lens manually to get it into focus.
A means Auto Focus and when the lens is det to this it should focus automatically but you need to set the mode button OFF Manual. It should work on any other setting.

The manual focus ring on my camera doesn't work. The ring turns but does not seem to adjust the focus. Automated focusing still works. How to fix it?

Two methods:-

1. Use the slider switch on the left of the camera to set it to MF (manual focus). The focus ring is an electronic one rather than a physical control like the zoom ring, so the response can seem slow.

2 Go into the camera menu and enable DMF (Direct Manual Focus). This allows you to override the autofocus simply by adjusting the focus control, but it does not work if the slider switch is set to the AF C setting (continuous autofocus), it only work in the AF-S (AF only activates once when the shutter is half pressed).

The lens will not focus automatically but will focus manually on the kodak EOS rebel XSi

Check your settings in the camera menu. Make sure that auto focus is selected. Also set the focus for OTHER than spot focus. (Spot focus can be real touchy.)
Still no autofocus? you will need service from Canon.

The lens cannot automatically focus

Hi pablo_cornel, One simple question, is the camera in manual focus mode. On the right of the lens mount, as you look at the camera is a switch that reads AF and M. If that switch is set to M you are in manual focus mode. Also, does the 18-55 mm lens have a manual override switch?

I can't get my Pentax Z50P film camera to automatically focus.

Remove the lens and clean the contacts between the body and the lens with a pencil eraser. Make sure the camera is on Autofocus mode. If these don't solve the problem, take it to an authorized service center.

Canon Rebel xti - auto focus problem

AI should be focusing. You really can't change many settings when you are shooting in auto mode. Is the lens in AF mode?

I'm sure you have long since returned from vacation!

Hope this helps!

Camera will only focus in macro mode

Check house not inadvertently set it to macro. If it has manual focusing try to reset the focus collar - check the manual for something you may have overlooked Failing all that look up the Fuji Tech Support team in the website

Switching from auto to manual focus

AF/MF (Auto Focus/Manual Focus) * The AF/MF function works in CAMERA, M.REC mode only. * In most situations, it is better to use the automatic focus feature, as it enables you to concentrate on the creative side of your recording. * Manual focusing may be necessary under certain conditions that make automatic focusing difficult and/or unreliable. Auto Focusing * If you are inexperienced in the use of camcorders, we recommend that you make use of Auto Focus. Manual Focusing In the following situations, you may obtain better results by adjusting the focus manually: * A picture containing several objects, some close to the camcorder, others further away. * A person enveloped in fog or surrounded by snow. * Very shiny or glossy surfaces like a car. * People or objects moving constantly or quickly like an athlete or a crowd. Follow These Simple Steps To Set The Manual Focus 1. Set the power switch to CAMERA mode. 2. Turn the MENU DIAL up or down until the FOCUS is highlighted and then press the ENTER button. M. FOCUS(MF) will display. 3. Turn the MENU DIAL up or down until the object is in focus. Zoom out a little if focusing is difficult. 4. To return to AF (Auto Focus: ), press the ENTER button again.
