I would like to set up two "snap" focusing modes on my Canon G9, using the C1 and C2 settings. Ideally, one should be set to the hyperfocal distance and the other (for closer work) with a depth of field that extends to, say, 20 feet. I only intend to use these settings at the wide end of the zoom.
Has anyone managed to implement this with success? If so, what is the correct method? I have found bits of information on the web but nothing very useful or conclusive, especially as I am far less concerned about having pictures that are sharp at infinity than with obtaining a focus preset for close-up documentary work where the nearest subject may not be much father away than an arm's length (this would be my max 20 feet setting...).
On the same theme, does anyone know if the manual focusing steps on the G9 are set to constant, fixed, values? If they are, do we know what these values are? For example, it would be useful to know if four incremental "clicks" of the thumbwheel down from the infinity setting gives focus exactly at 10 feet, or 8...
Many thanks!
