Yep

Yep. Ok, I'm a little confused by your question... On the focus, you can switch from Automatic (where it will clear and focus in on what you want), or Manual (where you have to move the lense to focus and clear it yourself). If that's what you're talking about, it's in the last picture below on the lense. There's a switch that says AF (Autofocus) MF (Manual Focus). If you want to focus by hand, you slide it to MF. If you want the camera to focus for you, slide it to AF.
Hopefully that is what you was asking about. If it's not, maybe there's a button on the camera you see in the pictures below that you can point to asking me? Sorry I'm a little confused by your question.

She's talking about back-button focusing, a method that has worked amazingly for me. @azurbanclucker could probably explain the concept well. I would, but I forgot how to adjust the settings to do it correctly.

What a fun thread!
I have a Nikon D3300 and a Nikon D3500. I almost always use the D3500 though.

I read this once but I didn't understand some of it.
I'm going to read it again.

These used to be soooooo neat to me when I first got them. Can you tell I used them daily?
