Make sure the aperture ring on the lens is set to f/22. It's in orange. If the aperture ring isn't set to that the camera will assume you're using the lens in full manual, and disengages the auto focus as well.
That might help? |

| I'd check to make sure auto focus on the 1.8D is supported by your camera. It's the older version. The 1.8G is the newer model, and AF works on all the cameras, but the older D model does not. |

Bohemka is correct. The D5300 doesn't have a built-in autofocus motor, so it won't autofocus lenses unless they have an internal autofocus motor themselves. The 50mm f/1.8 AF-D doesn't have an autofocus motor. You want the 50mm f1.8G AF-S.
As a general rule, unless the lens is an AF-S lens, it won't autofocus on your body. AF-S is the label they give t lenses with an autofocus motor. |
