Manual focussing focusses on a point in the framed scene while auto focussing focusses 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, refocussing is required.
Before focussing manually, check if the "DigitalZoom" is turned off. While "DigitalZoom" is turned on,
manual focussing will not focus with accuracy. Turn the "DigitalZoom" off. ➥page 67
