I don't get your story.

If I switch to manual mode I cannot mak a video. Cause I am in photo mode.

Maybe you can explain a little bit more.

You can make a video using manual focus. This is set either using the Focus Mode menu item or a physical switch if there is one. Whether in photo or movie mode the [AF] icon appears on the touchscreen. There are more details in other posts in this thread.

(You don't have to be in M mode - that means manual aperture and shutter adjustments independent of focus mode.)
