Start with Auto Focus, Then Switch to Manual
You’re going to be putting a really dark filter over the end of your lens—so dark, that your camera’s auto focus won’t be able to see to set your focus. So, you’re going to use Auto focus on your lens to set your focus before you put the filter on. Then, once your focus is set, you’re going to turn the switch on your lens (the one on the side) to Manual mode. That’s all there is to it. Well, to this part anyway.
