Zeiss 55mm manual focus

[Vanadium]

Does anyone know how to use this lens in an autofocus mode but still retain the ability to adjust focus manually with the lens barrel physical adjustment? I'm able to do this with my sony 20mm and 70-200mm but not the 55mm Zeiss. I can get it to manually focus in MF mode but not in AF.

Any help is much appreciated!

That lens doesn’t have that ability natively, but if you put the camera into DMF mode (instead of AF-S / AF-C / MF), then the camera will AF when you half-press, but you can then focus manually to tweak the result.

Is that what you want?
