I am struggling with the XT-2. I know you have all helped greatly already and without it I tink I would have taken the camera back. It is so complicated, yet by the dials on top I thought it was going to be much simpler. Anyway, I don't know what I have done, but I cannot get either lens to manually focus. I set the switch on the front to M, but neither lens will focus at all, not even with the shutter button lightly pressed. So it can be one of two things:
1. The manual focus is bust.
2. There is some magic setting somewhere you have to organise before the manual focus kicks in - and I am used to being able to manually focus over the top of autofocus, where you can either just use autofocus, or over ride the focus by simply turning the focus ring yourself. I was trying to do some shots of the full moon and the camera simply would not focus on the moon at all, not in any of the autofocus settings. I tried S with single point focus detection, right through the big green square type of focussing with various sizes of square and number of dots to use....it wouldn't have it. It wouldn't focus on the fairy lights over our bird table either. Eventually I managed to get something, but I haven't downloaded them yet.
Any ideas please? I could have done with that ability to focus the last bit of crispness without the focus motor scooting in and out. The XT-2 certainly isn't as easy to use as the D4s, but it is lighter and smaller.
