On ours we didn't have to "focus" the camera, but we did have to clean the lens and the picture was much better.

Put the camera in rapid fire, manual focus, out the trigger in bulb... hit it once and the shutter will stay engaged. That might work.

Holding the button down halfway allows you to focus on an off-center subject. For example, to focus on an off center subject, position that subject in the center of your screen and press the shutter halfway down to freeze the focus on that subject. While continuing to hold the shutter button down halfway, recompose the image on your camera and press the shutter button down the rest of the way to take the picture. If, on the other hand, you want to focus on the subject already at the center of your screen, just press the shutter button down completely and the camera will focus on the object in the center of the screen while taking the picture.

Well it's a focus button as you say!To use it slide the lever lever on the side of it back or forth, when you have the subject to shoot displayed press button momentarily, it will auto focus your photo.You will see the image come into focus.

To focus, you have to loosen the tiny phillips head screw, then turn the lens in and out for focus. It's hard to get it right, and once you have birds in the nest you can't really fiddle with it until they are gone. But try to get as far away from the actual nest as possible. (I was only able to see the moms shoulder as she built the nest on the same side as the camera. So go for the roof if you can.)

The lens has no focus switch - your camera probably has one and it will control the lens. Manual focus during video recording depends on whether your camera allows this.

Try going to the custom menu and turning on Shoot w/o Lens. The lens is manual and the camera cannot use automatic settings.

You can if you wish, however, if you hold the shutter button down just a bit, the camera will auto focus (a green square will appear in the center, beep) and you're good to go. It's a great camera, love my pics with it.

If the subject is moving, hit the scene button (just right of the screen on the camera) twice and chose the third icon from the left on the top row (action shots). For any shot it is important to choose which Scene fits what you are shooting. Another important function is to hit the +/_ side just to the right of the OK button. You can then set up or down to set what used to be known as the F-stop, how much light is introduced. Those 2 functions are pretty much all I use on this camera. And I have been getting some really nice shots. This camera is the best camera I have used!

I am not sure I understand what you are asking... the camera should focus, but only manually.

There is no way to focus camera. Check your cables to make sure there connected well. Also the better the TV or monitor you have . The better the picture .

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.

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.

With out the lens on your camera the focus is all in the telescope. You need to look at what you want to take a photo of and bring it in to focus looking thru your camera but adjusting the telescope. You may slso need to manually adjust the time exposure as you also now have aperture

If you have time to set up the shot first, you could practice changing focus, keeping track of where your fingers are at either end of the shot. If not, you might have to zoom in very quickly, get focus, then zoom out quickly to the framing you want. If you have an assistant, they could handle focus for you (small piece of white tape to mark both distances on the focus ring). Auto focus tends to be more of an issue in low light.
