A:Answer Yes, the Nikon COOLPIX S7000 digital camera does have an AF mode for manual focus. Just place the camera in Auto Mode, press menu, choose shooting Menu, then select AF Area Mode. Place the AF Area Mode in Manual and then press the "OK" button. You can then choose to go left, down, right or up by using the selector button. Autofocus is achieved by pressing the shutter-release button down halfway. Focused subjects will have a green box around them. While the green box is around the subject gently press the shutter-release button all the way down to allow to the camera to capture a sharply focused image.
