Auto focus only --Aperture and SS manual

[Coz]

I just bought an XT30 with an 18-55 mm lens. Is there a way to set up the camera so focus is automatic, but aperture and shutter speed are manual?

Thanks,

Coz

Can you give an example of what setting you want to use the camera with focus tracking?

For instance, you could set the front button/switch to ‘C’ mode with manual shutter speeds and apertures, while having the top dial set to ‘CH’ or ‘CL’  — these are continuous focus modes, high speed and low speed, while mashing the shutter button and get lots of good photos of the kids playing with the kittens and puppies.

But that may not be what you have in mind.

Focus and exposure are separate.

Set automatic focus using the switch on the front of the camera (C or S):

Set aperture and shutter speed using dials (shutter speed dial on camera and aperture on lens):

But my lens does not have an aperture ring on it!
