In this video (produced in somewhat of a rush before I left for Japan) I show you how to check and reset the auto focus mechanism on Sonar SLR cameras.

Getting artifacts in the video? For best quality, manually select 1080p quality, as depending on your bandwidth, YouTube may default to 720p - and YouTube's 720p compression looks like garbage
