You can focus recompose as in the example below where you center the frame around the place to focus, place your finger over the center button (without pushing) and confirm focus, then reframe to a different location.



The cam is great for macro photos as you can really get the narrow depth of focus with the nice blurred background as above.

That's a great example Laguire. Nice shot!
