Above: Some cameras have a switch to set it to auto or manual focus. Manual focus, meanwhile, disables autofocus and enables you to adjust it yourself. This is useful when the focusing system can't find focus for whatever reason, such as when it's too dark or when there's little contrast in the scene.
Here are the basic steps to getting the most precise manual focus: 1  Turn the focus ring until your subject sharpens. 2  Switch your camera to live view mode (where the LCD is your viewfinder). 3  Tap the magnifier button to zoom in on your subject, and use the arrows on your camera to move the area of view.o matter which shooting mode you're in -- from Automatic to Program or Manual -- you can shoot in manual focus mode. On the side of your lens, look for a switch labeled AF-MF, which is short for Autofocus and Manual Focus, respectively.
