Thank you, so I should be using manual , then use the the scroll focus bar , How do you LOCK the focus ???. And would you use Tripod mode?? maybe ss of 1/200th and iso 100/200
No, don't use manual focusing, that's unnecessary trouble.. Use autofocus via tap-to-focus. The AFC setting (or CAF, can't remember what they call it) is a setting for some kind of semi-continues / periodic refocusing. If you turn AFC off, focus is locked until you do a tap-to-focus again. If AFC is on, you are not sure when (or in control of when) the camera decides to refocus and to what it focuses on at that point. But reports on how well AFC works varies. Some prefer to have AFC on, because they forget to focus themselves in first place.
Yes, there is some confusion about what AFC does. Turning AFC off is NOT turning autofocus off. You can still do autofocus via tap-to-focus when AFC setting is turned off. But don't confuse the AFC setting with the AF/MF selector. But honestly, I don't think the AFC-setting is your problem. If you feel most comfortable with keeping AFC activated, keep it on.
Generally low iso is the best for high quality and fast shutterspeed reduces risk of camera shake and motion blur. But letting the camera decide shutterspeed and iso would normally be fine. The Auto exposure mode should be intelligent enough to figure out a good exposure for normal needs in most cases. Using Manual exposure requires some experience/knowledge.
