DSC-HX200V manual focus
4 months ago

New member here, going to jump right in and ask my first question.

Picked this camera up in the last couple of weeks and trying to learn it.  I was using a Sony P&S, so I am familiar with the basic features.  However, one that was on the P&S that is not on the HX200V is a setting for "infinity" focus.

The P&S would auto focus, or to make shots quicker you could pre-select a focal distance or choose "Infinity".  I would use this for landscapes and other far off shots.

The HX200V will do a manual focus, my problem is going from close up to distant, the ring takes very long to make the change.

I know I can use "Landscape" setting, but this limits other setting that I might want to use.  Is there a shortcut to get to this basic (to me) "Infinity" focus setting?

Thanks in advance.....
