Nope, not kidding. It's a Fujifilm FinePix S3280. It's a POS bridge camera.

Only if it's a local bridge.
If I ever get another camera I WILL be putting a bullet and/or arrow through this one's lens.

does it have focus lock? If so, point it at something else about the same distance and lock the focus, then reframe and shoot.

it does have focus lock, I looked it up. I'm sure grav already does know that. It seems... cruel to offer manual controls for aperture, exposure, iso, but not focus.

![]() It also does not like to shoot through windows and/or screens. If you get the telephoto out far enough it will, though. Sometimes.

What camera is it? Fuji finepix S3280? Yeah, it doesn't seem to have IR focus, it probably uses contrast to determine focus, The screen has obvious contrast, your window glass may have spots on it and it is picking up on them. The reason you can focus past the window when you zoom is because at long lens focal lengths (i.e. zoomed) the nearest focus distance is increased, so since the camera can't focus on the glass even enough to 'see' the spots or the pattern of the screen, it will look for the next best contrasting thing. "HEY! How about those branches against the sky, way in the back, at the edge of the frame, fucking miles from the thing you want to shoot. How about I focus on them?" I love all auto everything cameras that are smarter than me. Not You push the button, we'll do the rest. Don't you worry your sweet little head about nuthin.

It depends on the camera.
I'm often amazed at the quality of the exposure/balance/etc of many of the shots I take on auto with my little Canon G7 X. Really.

For what those cost, it'd damn well better amaze.

Which is great when that's the case. but when you want to go off script, it can be problematic.
