Are you able to clearly and accurately check your focus from 1080p camera settings?

As I'm using it with a Nikon D7000 the results are erratic at best and not to be trusted. I set the camera at 1080 but the monitor tells me I'm on 720, I set the mode to A and the monitor tells me it's P. Are you using it with a Nikon or Canon?

In general I think your best solution is to manually focus. Set the camera up, frame your shot, zoom in to the center of your frame, manually focus it, then zoom back out and verify your shot.

Yes, you can set it to use continuous focus or focus and lock. I believe if you google it you can download the manual.

Absolutely. This is how I use it although with different primes - 2.0 and 1.2. Regardless, you'll find yourself seeing through a much nicer viewfinder which I find useful even if I'm auto focusing or not. Here's how I see it: this focusing screen should have come standard with my body. It's that good.

Yes. Focus is pretty good but I would recommend stabilizing it on a tripod & with manual focus for the sharpest possible images.

Yes by turning the focus ring on the lens. I got a deal on this camera. I love it it does so much for the price.

Yes but you must use manual setting on your camera and you must manually focus

Yes you can if it's on video mode you just simply press the photo button on top though be sure to focus it so it isn't blurry. If you want advance options switch to photo mode and simply read the instructions from that point :)

No, the normal human eye cannot tell the difference between 1080i and 1080p, the same for 1080p and 720p HDTV's. One might tell a difference if the face is pressed against the tv screen, a practice I would not recommend.

yes. Use the S setting which is for shutter speed priority. I use mine for sports.

Yes, you can see. The image quality will not be the best due to lighting and focus distance.

It's in the manual but the camera has a setting to override the dof focus etc. In that respect it's not really intuitive.

To my knowledge there isn't any way to manually focus these cameras. I bought mine as a refurbished unit and it has an incredibly clear image. You might have to contact Samsung.

Yes however you just take into account the 1.6 crop factor on the sensor. Your actual depth of field is not f4 but f (4*1.6) and the reach is around 480 mm. Also iso is affected. It takes a lot of conversion to get full frame quality images but its possible
