Three focusing methods
The FinePix S5000 now offers a choice of 3 focusing mechanisms : Auto focus (S-AF),
Continuous AF (C-AF) and Manual focus (M-AF).
S-AF : Allows the camera to focus on the subject automatically. The camera focuses when the
Shutter button is pressed down halfway.
C-AF : The camera focuses continuously on the main subject in the AF frame. Use this mode to
photograph moving subjects. See P.51 for details.
MF : With the “D†button held down, press the “T†or “W†button to focus the shot. See P.52 for
details.
Page 52 of the owner's manual, you can find an online copy here . The fugifilm.com website has a lot of good info. I had to go look up my 3800 too!

| There is a AF/MF switch on the left side of your camera unlock it and set it to MF then hold down the +/- switch and use the zoom(W/T) switch to focus. |

| I don't really like the manual focus very much. It's not very easy to use. Unfortunately there are situations where I don't have any other choice (specifically low light conditions). |

I thought the s5100 had barrel focus on the lens? Am I wrong?

Unfortunately... NOT!!! It really is a hassle to use the manual focus. It's the only gripe I have about my camera.

| Yeah, it's the biggest gripe I have too. Other than it's NOT the Canon EOS 1Ds Mark II. |
