Iv'e had the Chamonix 045N for about 10 months now and although I enjoy using the camera, there is one aspect which I find difficult which is focusing for close ups.

My usual approach is to..

Set up camera in roughly the position I need it
Move the rear standard back and forth until the subject is is focus
Fine tune with the centre focus knob.

Moving the rear standard back and forth until the subject is is focus is the part I find difficult as I find it fiddly to move the rear standard with my head under the cloth.

Is this the recommended approach or I am doing it wrong.
