Autofocus vs. manual focus: try it yourself

1. AF Lock

Half-press shutter to lock focus on eye; recompose; take shot.

2. MF Precision

Switch to manual; focus on text in book; see if sharper than AF.

3. Low-Light AF Fail

In dark, try AF; then switch to MF with focus assist light.

4. Video Focus

Record video; switch from AF to MF mid-shot; note control difference.

5. Focus Peaking

If available, use focus peaking in MF mode to highlight sharp areas.
