N NSBFTW Carbonite Member Aug 23, 2010 #1 How do I lock the focus on the HMC150? It seems if I set it manually it re focuses buy itself. Also if I wanted to make the foreground sharp then the background sharp in one continuous motion within a 1-2 second time frame how would I go about that?

E Exact Veteran Aug 23, 2010 #3 Do you have AF enabled? If so you can't lock focus and you can't rack focus - which was what your second question was hinting at. You need to turn AF OFF then use the focus wheel to manually adjust the focus as required.

You need to turn AF OFF then use the focus wheel to manually adjust the focus as required. Click to expand... But if I bump the wheel it goes out of focus. Is there a way to actually lock it on the focus I manually set it too?
