Manual focus feature in non-SLR digital cameras?
How well does the manual focus of digitals like the Dimage A200 and
Canon G6 work? Easy or hard or too time-consuming to create soft focus effects with these kind of cameras? I can spend the extra $$ and go for the Digital Rebel, thus satisfying all my manual focus needs. But if I could save some dollars on a non-SLR digital... Shnaggletooth |

Well, I can't say it works the same on all cameras, but here's how my silly
little Rollei D330 does it. 1- press "zoom / manual focus" button b- use telephoto/wide angle buttons to adjust focus. It's sort of slow, and there's a touch of lag. There's no "set to x.xx metres" indication of *where* you're focussing, like there is by reading the SLR lens rings I'm also not certain the small screens will give you the control necessary for good adjustment. Your experience and camera will likely vary. -- Marada Shra'drakaii |

Sof focus is not out-of-focus, there is a difference.

On my Canon G2, it works like the G6 mentioned. But one additional
detail...the camera can be made to 'zoom' into a small portion of the entire frame in a magnified view, so you can more easily SEE what is in focus vs. out of focus. |
