Manual focussing focuses on a point in the framed scene while auto focussing focuses on the centre area automatically.
Use the zoom function to catch the desired target before manually adjusting the focus. If you use the zoom function
after manual focussing, refocusing is required.
Before focussing manually, check if the
"DigitalZoom"
is turned off. When
"ZoomType"
is set to
"DigitalZoom"
,
manual focussing will not focus with accuracy. Turn the
"DigitalZoom"
off.
