Does that not sound like such a great feature?
I never can figure out how auto-focus works on this camera I used here that I sometimes image the fountain with.
Normally I use a small point-and-shoot camera that's not much more sophisticated that your stupid iPhone.
With my better camera, the only other solution I know of is to use the Manual function. Dial up the F-stop. Seems to cause that camera to avoid focusing on one area over another. I don't experiment enough with it. I don't study photography guides.
I don't know why someone would cause Sony to have such intense interest in me personally. I started writing this just as on television Saturday Night Live started broadcasting a funny sketch about incompetent "That's the Game", whatever that is. I had already formed this note in the minutes before that sketch started.
