My
camera has auto focus; switch it on, point, press -
It
focuses on its own
All
you have to do is to press down all the way.
Of
late, the auto focus doesn't work.
I
pull the focus ring manually, forward and backward
It
never focuses sharply.
This
is the only camera I have; guess I will have to live
With
images blurred.
To
buy a new one is not an option
Till
the next life, if there is one.
But
I do take out my camera everyday
Brush
it and blow away the dust
Tweak it here and there
Imagine
sharp and clear images.
One
day, it might snap back to life.
