Hey guys so I want to begin by saying I am totally new to DSLR photography.
When I first received my Nikon d7000 a couple days ago I latched on my 50mm f/1.8d lens. I didn't even know pressing the shutter button halfway down focused. So what I did for my first probably 10-15 shots the first hour I got my camera was I manually focused the lens by moving the lens focus ring then I would take the picture. All of this while my Autofocus was set to on. Now I realized my mistake relatively quickly and started only using the autofocus function. I didn't notice any problems but I read online the following day that that is a huge no-no. Especially with a lens like a 50mm f/1.8d because it uses the d7000 internal focus motor. I got scared when I saw posts saying that the internal motor has got to be damage/stripped/whatever.
However, when I was manually focusing it I didn't experience any hard resistance like other people talked about. Was it because I wasn't pressing the shutter button? Just manually focusing and then pressing to take the picture.
I would just like to here some more opinions on if my focus motor is probably damaged or not. What are some of the signs I should look for if it is?
I also have a Tamrom 70-300 vc and on some pictures it won't focus and take the picture. Is that a case by case basis and the camera settings or could it be linked to what I described above?
Thanks!
