[QUOTE="Will V|Photography, post: 36321, member: 7177"] John is on the right track but a little off. Are you shooting in a "Scene" mode or A,S,P,M? When using single-point AF, you can control which point in your viewfinder focuses by using the directional pad on the back of the camera. Move the point where you want it, half-press the shutter, then once you have what you want in focus, then you can change your composition while keeping what you want in focus. As for manual focusing and looking through the viewfinder, you'll see a light in the lower left-hand corner that comes on when you have focus. I don't understand what you mean about a focus ring though, as I'm sure your lens has one. You wouldn't be able to manually focus without it. Hope this helps a little bit! [/QUOTE]
