lens - Is it safe to manually-focus the Nikon 18-105 while in autofocus mode?


There are only A and M settings, no A/M. but I just noticed that Nikon website has mentioned three focus modes for this lens: Auto, Manual and Manual/Auto


I'm confused if this is only a typo or is it safe to manually focus with this lens when the lens is in Auto mode?

Page 15 of the manual answers the question:




Manual focusing is possible even when the lens A-M mode switch is set to A.



Mind you, the camera should be in AF-S mode and then you use the ring to fine tune, which isn't a full-range manual adjust, it's for tuning the AF result.
