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.
