This little girl was waiting for the dye to dry while her mother gets her&#8217;s done. When the focus point is off-center, I normally use the 4-way pad to shift the AF square in the viewfinder of the OM-D. For this shot, I used &#8216;tap focus&#8217; on the LCD screen instead.<\/p>\n<p>Where there is cluttered background, you may want switch to Aperture Priority mode and drop the aperture to a bigger opening (smaller f number). I selected f3.5 on the 12-50mm kit lens. It provided the subtle change of focus starting from the hand to the blurred fluorescent lights. The shallower depth-of-field &#8216;lifted&#8217; her hand from the background but is still clear enough for the viewver to make out the activity behind.<\/p>\n<p>If you have a camera that can control the aperture, put your finger on it.
