Focusing and zooming


Manual focusing can create miracles! If your subject is a small one (like flower, pebble, grass, parts of body, etc) then it is recommended that you use manual focusing to focus at or near the object while letting the background blur due to defocussing. This contrast of focus and defocus in the same picture can create amazing effects!

Zooming on the other hand, according to me, does not render much good effect. In fact if you have studied some theories on vision or perspective projection you might be knowing how zooming makes the picture more unrealistic than normal vision. So I will suggest to avoid zooming wherever possible.
