Thank you for your recommendation! |

I wasn't aware of this. How can I find out which lenses allow this and which don't? |

Ok so I have short listed a beginner's lens to these two:
Tamron AF 70-300 mm f/4-5.6 Di
And
Canon 18-55 mm f/3.5-5.6
Both seem within my budget, others are a little too expensive. I will decide soon. Thanks for your help!
