On some lenses you have an M/A and an M setting allowing in the M/A 
setting to use the camera automatic as well as manual. So you can 
autofocus and if you don't like it refocus manual without changing the 
setting. But why there is then a seperate M setting I don't know... maybe 
something to do with beeing able to focus over infinity (this is usually 
allowed for the autofocus not to damage the mechanics). (BTW I have the 
previous model, the D80).

What kind of lenses do you have? I do some macro photography and just 
recently started with birds (I got an old manual 300/4.5 for that - still 
a long way to go) but thinking about getting an wideangle lens.
