Adjusting Focus Manually

The camera can focus automatically. All you have to do is point it, and whatever is in the center of the display will usually be in sharp focus. If it does not seem to be focusing well, it may be because the subject is not suitable for autofocus.

You can use the manual focusing function for more control over focusing.
