Focusing a camera means making your subject appear sharp and clear in the photo. Most modern cameras offer two main types of focus: auto focus (AF) and manual focus (MF). Auto focus uses sensors to detect contrast and lock onto subjects, while manual focus lets you adjust the lens yourself. Knowing when and how to use each method helps you take better photos in any situation. Mastering focus not only enhances image quality but also allows you to creatively control depth of field and composition. Whether you are capturing fast-moving action or a quiet still life, precise focus is key to visual storytelling.

Using the wrong focus mode or technique can lead to blurry or missed shots. Here are some common mistakes to watch out for:

• Using Auto Focus for low light: In dim settings, auto focus may struggle. Switch to manual focus for better control.
• Leaving Focus Mode on AF-S for moving subjects: Single auto focus (AF-S) locks focus once—great for still objects, but not for action shots. Use continuous focus (AF-C) instead.
• Not selecting the right focus point: Letting the camera choose focus points can result in sharp backgrounds but blurry subjects. Manually select your focus point for accuracy.
• Overlooking manual focus in macro photography: Autofocus often fails with close-up shots. Manual focus gives better precision.
• Ignoring White Balance in artificial light: Poor lighting can confuse autofocus. Set white balance correctly to help your camera focus better.
