A

button

for one second.

 Please note the following:

The area that the camera uses when autofocusing is a 80 × 60 pixel box, centered
vertically and horizontally on the screen

The camera will have difficulties autofocusing when the image has low contrasts
between different areas

You should keep the camera steady when autofocusing
