If you just got your camera, then the first thing you need to do is read the instructions that came with the camera… There could be several reasons why it will not autofocus, and all of those reasons are in the instructions.

Download the instructions from the Nikon website…

What do you mean there isn't instructions. Unless I'm mistaken Nikon packed an owner's manual with the camera along with a software disk. Perhaps this would be a good time to check the box, huh?

Read the manual that came with your camera. If none came,

digital copy makes it even easier to find things.

Ill give you a hint. Either it is the lens, or the camera body!
