Manual Focus? Does this camera have an option of using manual focus?

No and the camera often has trouble focusing. So lots of your photos will be blurry

Yes. Assuming you are talking about doing a video recording. Once you uncheck the "Auto Focus" control option you will have the ability to do a manual focus with the slider.

This is a completely manual camera. There are no automatic settings on this specific model.

Yes. However it does not allow use of automatic focus or aperture settings...you must manually focus and set aperture ... Aperture priority works, or use full manual exposure.

Yes, there's a manual exposure mode and the lens has a switch to turn auto-focus on or off.

You've probably figured this out by now, but in case anyone is browsing this forum later on and still wants the answer, I thought I'd post. I use old manual focus Nikon lenses on this camera all the time. There is no auto focus, but they work perfectly fine in manual mode. I have a 10 dollar wireless remote I bought off of Amazon that works great for long shutter exposures.

You can set to manual focus as such: 1. Set the focus selector switch to [MF], which displays on the screen. 2. Press the setting wheel to set [MF] to a selected state. 3. Rotate the setting wheel to display the focus range on the screen. Press the left/right arrow keys or rotate the setting wheel to focus on the subject (use the cursor button to make slight adjustments). That should do it. Enjoy yourself. This has proven to be an amazing camera, with possibilities I don't get even with the M!

No, it's manual focus. It is very sharp a great close up. It also has a spot for a tripod. We'll worth the money

Yes. But you have to be aware that is manual focus and has no electronic communication with the camera.

Yes there's a manual but I wouldn't buy this camera again. It's very slow! In fact I intend to sell my "used one time" camera when I return to states.

yes, there is a setting called manual mode with shutter speed and aperture. Each setting shows directions for that setting or explains the setting on the screen. We have not begun to use all of the choices, so cannot say how well they work, but take into account that the camera is a $100 camera. We are getting decent pictures from a camera which I am willing to allow my children to try their hands at different settings and pictures, all with digital, so they can be printed or deleted. It is solid and easy to hold. and handle

No, autofocus doesn't work. You have to set the camera to manual mode and manually focus. However, it's not that difficult once you activate the zooming mode to help you focus.

Yes, you can focus manually. Manual focus is on the lens. Just circulate the lens, and you will manual focus the camera.

Yes it does have auto-focus but I find that the manual gets me sharper images.

I don't shoot in Auto. Sorry. It is simple to use in manual mode. I love this camera! But I am also a photographer with professional cameras.

Hi Michelle! Yes, this camera have an auto focus. It has a good performance in Macro function and in shoots with good lighting.

I am unaware of any manual focusing capability. It merely allows you to zoom in and out and it adjusts focus as necessary automatically.
