What is Infinity Focus, and Two Effective Ways to Set Lens? On the example lens on the left, notice there are two focus rings that can be rotated.

INFINITY FOCUS • When you focus your lens on infinity, it means you have focused on things that are very far away from you. It also means that everything in your frame is in focus up to infinity. • Infinity focus is mostly used for star trail photography or Astrophotography or most commonly while photographing the Milky Way With infinity focus, you make sure that the faraway subjects are in focus and will thereby appear sharp in your pictures. https://goo.gl/JyXk6e
Two effective ways to set your lens to infinity focus • When your lens has the infinity marking on it • When you do not have an infinity mark or your lens https://goo.gl/JyXk6e
When your lens has the infinity marking on it • An infinity stop is marked with an inverted 8 on the focus scale as shown in the below picture https://goo.gl/JyXk6e
When your lens has the infinity marking on it • You simply have to choose to set your lens to infinity by moving the focus point to this mark. Don’t forget to take test shots before you go for the final one. • The exact position of infinity focus differs from lens to lens, so it always better to know your lens and it’s exact infinity mark position where it works the best. https://goo.gl/JyXk6e
When you do not have an infinity mark or your lens • I have used this method for star trails, the Milky Way and it works perfectly. https://goo.gl/JyXk6e
When you do not have an infinity mark or your lens • This is a simple manual method. Set your lens to autofocus and focus on a distant bright object. Maybe on the brightest star or a far away light source. The moon serves the best to set autofocus. • Once you have achieved that focus, gently turn your lens to manual focus without touching the focus ring. • You now know that you have a distant object in focus because you have already achieved that with autofocus. Turning to manual mode after achieving correct focus with autofocus means the focus will remain intact until you disturb the manual focus ring on your own. https://goo.gl/JyXk6e
