All camdriver that i have tried which has manual focus, requiring the user to set the focus to infinity.. this is quite uncomfortable for me, so i look into the codes and edit several lines...
finally I've managed to solve the problem.. now you don't have to switch to infinity mode to use manual focus..
you can use the code on your own driver with proper credit to me.. 
t s is the lines that you need to change...
find the lines that control the focus operation (property 10)
change the code for this property with this..
first we need to know which property that we use to turn on the manual focus.. (I'm using cybershot experience 8 for example)
seq_set_prop_a_1 = //* Start AF
$p4 08 //put value of property 8 to register 4
$c4 04 //if the value is 4
#CHANGE_MODE(31,02) // stop the auto focus process immediately
$cl //else
#CHANGE_MODE(31,06) // start auto focus process
$cx
$sf.02 0 // Not in draft mode
;
i use K850i to test this code.. but it should work on others...

We don't need to set to infinity first since we got preview mode to catch precise focus. Thanx for raider to make it possible.
Btw...if you do that? Didn't auto focus will lost its function?

auto focus is still exist..
this code is meant to fix previous other moded camdriver that has manual focus function..
in order to use manual focus, user have to switch to infinity mode to make manual focus work correctly..
if you dont set the infinity mode, you still can adjust the focus, but you'll loose it when you take picture, because the auto focus process will readjust the focus.. infinity mode turn off the auto focus..
as far as i know, all available moded driver use this method..
is there any driver that use other method..?

No...not all of them. Raider makes better job there. Since K750i, W800i, K800i and now C901. Do you ever used his camdriver before? believe me it was great!

never try camdriver from raider.. maybe because he didnt release it for k850..
i only have k850 to test..
i found this method about 4 month ago and only use it on my own driver.. and looks like to late to post here..
well, at least you know whitch line you need to change if you want to use cmdrivr other than raider's one but dont like its old manual focus method..
hmm.. maybe i should release my k850 camdriver..

You mean in auto mode, we can set the focus manually. Then how to take pic? If you press camera button, will manual focus retain or lost ?? If it retained, then what about auto focus? Will it work correctly.

I think that deddot meant manual focus in mini-supermode drivers. Pure supermode doesn't exist in K850, so everything which makes mini-supermode easier to use is good

Do you know about any camdriver with manual focus for the C902? I would like to try it!
See my photos taken with the C902, Satio or E72 in here! |

@ceaser2008
yes.. this code will make manual focus work in Auto mode, Macro mode, and ofcourse Infinity mode...
but the Auto focus is still exist since manual focus only work is you turn it on..
