# Arigatou gozaimasu!
I had a f*ck of a job getting my camera to focus on the CRT in the second shot, it insisted it needed to be blurry for some reason ><

# Could try Macro mode
and setting the Aperture Priority manually. Or use Focus Lock, that's what I ended up doing.

Not that I know much about these sorts of things, I'm an engineer, not a photographer.

# She doesn't have a contrast adjustment...
...only intensity. Too high and she looks blurry IRL. Too low and it's not visible. I found about the right balance, but my camera just refused to focus properly.

# It's a Fuji S5700 Bridge Camera
So I can't really do anything about the lens, except try cleaning it I suppose.

My old Kodak compact had the same problem, I ended up cheating and compositing a shot because I couldn't get a good shot.
