Sony Alpha ILCE 7K New to mirrorless (previous bridge camera owner)

Silly question- I love my new purchase with the kit lens 28mm to 70mm but I have a query if anyone can help.

What does the focusing ring do? I ask because when I rotate it in Manual Setting, nothing happens?

Thanks in advance

Hi RichardJP07,

Welcome to the community.
The focus ring is used to sharpen focus and using it displays some focus information. You can read more here and here.

Best wishes,
Ed
