The issue is one of two parts ...
a) Auto Focus, on some subjects, refuses to focus, particularly on long shots, such as horizon or cloud.
b) Manual Focus, which I try as the obvious alternative, is extremely slow; if the button is set to MF, the centre button then pressed, the focus reaches near where it it should be on 'normal' subjects, and the ring is then turned to finalise focus; however, there are occasions when it refuses to focus at all on first press, and the ring is the only way, and that takes forever.
Any assistance at all will be welcome.
On a state pension, there is little chance of my purchasing a new camera for many moons, so, having been pleased with the results to date, I would like to get the best out of what I have. Arthritis also limits the amount of equipment sensible for me to carry, and to hold. I have a Nikon, with a 500mm catadioptric lens, but it quite simply is too heavy for my wrists.
