12.2.2.3 Fixed focus
Focusing to a xed position is used when there are low contrasts between
different areas in the image, which makes it difcult for the camera to
auto focus. The Fix function may also be used when the object of interest
is outside the focus area, or to focus on a scene containing an object of
interest at a known distance.
NOTE: The xed focus position is set in the Setup–Image dialog box, see section
7.6.1.1.
