Hi can someone help? I'm just playing around with my camera so the other night i experimented with light trails, i set the camera up then went into settings and changed it to manual focus (my AF-P 18-55) has no switch), i took some photos, was quite pleased then turned it off. The problem is now autofocus is not working at all, i have changed it back in camera re set to factory settings but still no focus points or autofocusing, help please...i need the camera im on holiday!
Thanks.

Have you switched both the camera and lens to autofocus? I think it automagically sets both to manual when you change one with an AF-P lens on the camera, i'm not so sure that it does the same in the other direction.

Hi thanks for the reply, the lens does not have a switch so changed to manual in camera via the control strip. I have changed it back to auto but still no good and also re set it by pressing the menu and info buttons together. Im just waiting to see if removing the battery and SD card for half an hour does anything, also the battery was only at a third capcity so im charging it. Thanks again.
