Stephen Press Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 Ok. I'm assuming you mean a smaller camera with the auto focus option. There are a lot of different ways but one simple one is: First turn off steady shot function. Put on tripod get close to foreground object, frame it to one side and line up end shot of distant object. Turn off auto focus. Now pan camera so the near object is full frame. Hold down spot focus button and focus on near object. Re-frame on end shot. Roll rec. Push spot focus and let it focus on distant object. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those are the rules here, thank you. Try doing a search in the "Camera Assistant" subforum - I guarantee you will find many, many posts over the years about pulling focus advice.
