Should I use autofocus or manual focus?
Autofocus is generally faster and easier than setting the focus manually. It can lock onto a subject faster, as well. This makes it suitable for shooting moving subjects. If you prefer to use manual focus on moving subjects, pre-focus on the spot you know the subjects will move through and shoot that location.
How do you set a manual focus?
Here are the basic steps to getting the most precise manual focus:
- Turn the focus ring until your subject sharpens.
- Switch your camera to live view mode (where the LCD is your viewfinder).
- Tap the magnifier button to zoom in on your subject, and use the arrows on your camera to move the area of view.
