Can you set the autofocus on this camera to a single point? Thanks!

No. But you can use manual focus, or with autofocus set on the center, maintain the focusat that distace by holding the shutter button half way. Alternately with autofocuse set on subject the focuse will follow the chosen subject with okay but not perfect results.

Focus and metering can be set for "spot". That was one of the settings I had to change when I was trying to take photos of the moon.

You can if you wish, however, if you hold the shutter button down just a bit, the camera will auto focus (a green square will appear in the center, beep) and you're good to go. It's a great camera, love my pics with it.

Yes, I must wait for about a second or two for the camera to reach focus. This is in the program [P] mode, or the Auto. Also, if I see a perfect picture, there is a noticeable time lapse between when I press the button and the shutter "releases" [electronically]. This means that on many occasions I have to take another picture and hope for better.

You can put your camera on the continuous shooting mode and as long as you depress the button, it will continue to shoot. I do not think you can set the self timer to automatically do the same.

Yes, but this camera just has auto focus. So, just select the thing or person that you want to focus on and just move or zoom the focus.

To my knowledge there isn't any way to manually focus these cameras. I bought mine as a refurbished unit and it has an incredibly clear image. You might have to contact Samsung.

I don't know but I don't think that you can do anything but manually focus with these lens babies... they are not designed to autofocus so there is a bit of a learning and experimenting with them till you get the look that you want....each aperture ring gives you a slightly different look... so you have to know where to direct your focus.. and that has to be done manually....

nope, nope, nope. You can use an autofocus lens on it....so long as you manually focus the lens.

Yes, you can set it to use continuous focus or focus and lock. I believe if you google it you can download the manual.

autofocus works fine except when you are really zoomed in all the way ... sometimes it struggles with fast moving objects.

The auto focus on this camera is very fast. Put the camera in Spot Focus and put the item you want in focus in the center of the screen under the +.

It does. It has, like many, a "flower" setting which allows you to get right up close. Exactly how close I'm not sure. The technical specs probably tell you how close you can get before autofocus doesn't work. (which is what happens when you get too close)

Yes. You can shoot in 'pro focus' mode, or do it the real way by shooting with a wide aperture setting of 2.8. Since this camera has real aperture blades, you can set it in aperture prioirity mode and set it to the smallest possible number.

There is a way to focus but it will be a trial and error because the image on the srceen is not very clear. If you still have the owners manual, it gives a step by step on how to do it. I was able to focus mine rather easily. Good luck.

AutoFocus was fine. Some circumstances, e.g., bird watching, require manual focus.

Yes, you can focus manually. Manual focus is on the lens. Just circulate the lens, and you will manual focus the camera.

The Auto mode attempts to do this automatically (see manual page 44) but you can also control it directly by using Shutter Priority mode with a speed above 1/250. See manual page 49.
