To manually focus your Canon PowerShot SX540 HS, follow these steps:
1. Turn on the camera and switch it to manual focus mode. On the top of the camera, there is a mode dial with different shooting modes. Rotate the dial until you reach Manual Focus (MF) mode.
2. Once in manual focus mode, you can use the manual focus ring on the lens barrel to adjust the focus. The focus ring is located towards the front end of the lens barrel.
3. Look through the electronic viewfinder or the LCD screen to compose your shot.
4. While looking at your subject, rotate the focus ring to adjust the focus manually. Turn it clockwise or counterclockwise until your subject appears sharp and in focus.
5. As you adjust the focus, you can also use the zoom lever located around the shutter button to zoom in or out on your subject. This can help you fine-tune the focus.
6. To check if the focus is accurate, you can use the camera's focus-assist feature. This feature magnifies a portion of the screen to help you see the details and focus accuracy better. Press the Magnify button (located on the rear of the camera) to activate focus assist, then adjust the focus using the focus ring until the desired area appears sharp.
7. Once you are satisfied with the focus, half-press the shutter button to lock the focus. The camera will maintain the focus distance until you fully press the shutter button to capture the photo.
Remember that manual focus requires practice and may take some time to get used to. Experiment with different focus distances and subjects to improve your manual focusing skills.
