FujiFinepix s5600 Tutorial - Using Area Focus Mode with FujiFinepix s5600 cameraAF - AREA, originally uploaded by vanessapr.

If you are taking a series of photographs where you want the camera AF to be off-center then consider using the AF-AREA funciton of the FujiFinepix s5600/s5200 camera. You can now move the little crosshair to focus on the focal point (in this photo the bud of a cactus) but in other photos I place the AF - AREA to the sky or a darker part of the photo to reduce blown out skies or overblown highlights.

If you are wanting to add bokkeh or depth of field to a photo it often helps to focus on something close to the camera and slightly zoom in or focus on something in the background, leaving the foreground slightly out of focus.
