Or Use Infinite Focus, So Everything’s in Focus

If you don’t have something clear to focus on 1/3 of the way into your frame, another thing you can do is set your lens to focus on “infinity.” This is made easier if you have a lens that has a focus distance indicator scale right on the outside of the lens itself. You simply use the switch on the side of your lens to switch from Auto focus to Manual focus, and then look inside that little focal distance scale, and you’ll see an infinity symbol (∞). Rotate the Manual focus ring on your lens until you reach that infinity symbol, but then you turn it back slightly to the little vertical line that appears right before the symbol. That’s the correct spot for focusing to infinity.
