<p>Hi Susan,</p>

<p>There's actually no problem: you just need to get to know your camera better! *ALL* the AF lenses can be switched to manual focus by setting the focus mode rotary switch (bottom right corner of the camera if you're facing the lens) to "M". Set it to "S" to get it to focus, lock and hold that focus position. Set it to "C" to get it to constantly refocus as you repoint the camera. It sounds like you currently have it at "C". If you set it to "S", and keep the shutter release half-pressed, you could autofocus and recompose the subject (without changing the subject-camera distance).</p>
<p>The larger AF lenses (zoom and telephoto) also have a clutch mechanism on the focus ring - push forward for AF mode, pull backwards for manual focus. Pulling back for manual focus overrides the "C/S/M" dial if it was already set to "C" or "S" autofocus.</p>
