Wow, I can't believe it, a "help" forum where you don't get burned to a crisp. The people all actually are interested in helping you out. Since you all have similar ideas, here goes:
Carl JF: Yes there is an A setting on the lens and it's on A. Same for the AF choice on the focus type switch on the cam.
Not a Number: Yep, same thing.
Apet-Sure: Thanx for the welcome and that's me: Stinkin' to high heaven.
E-Man: Yes, it says "AF" and was always auto focus on my old Pentax ZX-7. and the others pretty much pertain to the same answers.
I'm one of those worms that buy an "auto" cam and click on everything that says "auto" all the time. But manual focus is hard for me as the type of hobby I have, rail photos, requires shots of moving subjects 99% of the time, usually coming at you.
Thanx guys for the help, they were all good stuff, even you Apet. If you think of anything else I'd appreciate a yell and if I can ever be of help (if it has to do with completely automatic, push the trigger, take the pic) let me know.
Thanx,
Bob
