6.                   Alan Cole made a terrific presentation on FOCUS.

7.                   He illustrated some of the science behind obtaining a focus and the differences between manual and auto focus, and the sub categories in auto. Some of the specifics were a bit difficult because of the range of camera manufacturers and models. Not all members had all the attributes mentioned because they had different cameras, but Alan made it instructional to all and finished with a practical exercise. Many thanks to Alan
