Page 10 of 10 Manual Focus Unlike other subjects, you won’t need a fast AF system for landscapes. It’s more important that you can focus exactly where you want to and maintain that focus over a series of bracketed exposures. Manual focus is an advantage here because it stays put and won’t require you to re-aim your camera for each shot, as you might have to do to acquire focus within an AF system’s zones. While manual-focus capability is limited in advanced compacts, some models can locate their autofocus point anywhere within the scene. This essentially provides the same advantages for keeping consistent focus as does manual focus. Accessories Along with a tripod, flash and filters, you’ll definitely want some sort of a remote release. These devices improve image sharpness by eliminating the subtle camera motion caused by your finger’s press on the shutter button. They’re particularly important when you use long lenses or shutter speeds from about 1⁄15 to several seconds. Some operate with a cable, others by infrared or radio.
