Thank you, Miles! Yes, when I put the green A on the lens to align with the red line on the lens, the camera focuses. Any explanation as to why? Much appreciated.

You need 'allow aperture' enabled in the menu system.

Otherwise any none 'A' lens (or swicthed off A) will not function.

When the lens is in the 'A' position it set to allow the camera to control the aperture, any other position and the aperture is set manually on the lens.

The camera has no means of knowing this so shows F-- rather than the aperture set and without the menu enabling it blocks the use of the lens to protect accidental mis setting.
