Using manual focus
For cases when the subject is dark and you cannot focus using AF (auto
focus) or when you cannot focus in time for pictures such as fireworks, set the
focus mode to MF (manual focus) and focus manually. For night scenes, turn
the focus ring of the lens and check whether you can see the street lights
clearly. For fireworks, as long as the long focus lens is not used, it is okay to
adjust to infinite. If you know the approximate distance, you can also focus on
something that is found at the same distance in advance.
