The interchangeable lens (H-FS12032) does not have a focus ring, but you can use manual 
focus by operating the camera. Refer to  P147 for details.

•
The interchangeable lens (H-H020A) utilizes a lens drive system to realize a compact and 
bright F1.7 lens. As a result, sound and vibration may occur during focus operation, but this is 
not a malfunction.
•Operating sounds will be recorded when auto focus is performed during motion picture 
recording.  (P60) It is recommended to record with [Continuous AF] (P213)  set to [OFF], if the 
sound of operation bothers you. Also, it is not possible to set the Focus Mode to [AFC] or 
[AFF].  (P136)
