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.

Yes, D90 I know (and I want one, but right now I'm allocating my money
to paraglider and/or automated lawnmower). I asked for the D20 Andrew
wrote about.

That's because you have a motor-focusing lens (IIRC AI-S). The switch on
the camera affects on the axle on the bajonet, thus enabling autofocus
also for lenses without motors.

Depends on whether you have the money for it or not. ;-)

Yes, I know why. I just don't know what happens if you set them opposite of
each other. :-) As I said, I understand the restrictions. It's just a much
more manual process than my previous "nice" digital camera. (Sony F707)

Just normal stuff. A 28-300 zoom, a 50mm, a 28mm, and the one that came with
the camera which is a 18-105 I think.

I think the one on the body may be needed for older lenses (AF type).

If you do it with an old lens you might damage the focusing motor/gears
when you try to focus manually.

That's the important part - taking pretty darn nice pictures, I mean :) The
reviews show it to be a good entry level dSLR and will give you plenty of
room to grow into the hobby. Beware of lens envy though as that can be a
very expensive proposition - speaking from personal experience. I've got one
zoom and two primes in the 400mm+ class and lusting for more....

Actually, I think the text in the manual is supposed to mean that you
should not power down the camera while the VR motor is actually running
(which is good advice), but the wording is admittedly vague.
Apparently, the manual also tells you to wash your hands after handling
the cord, lest your future Californian children become defective.
