that's more or less what I did - spot focus on the cranks and then move up to compose. there is a manual focus but the feedback image is not nearly as clear as the split image you get with the focusing screen on an SLR.
I think the remaining blur (not so bad on that shot but worse on some of the others) is mainly due to camera shake - the camera is v. light and there doesn't seem to be a way to persuade it to take a manual aperture or shutter speed setting. silly automatic things. wouldn't be so bad if you could patch the software.
hmm.. think I'll resurrect the manual SLR - got an old Canon EF knocking around which might (a) take decent photos if I can find batteries for it and (b) make a handy club for knocking intruders unconscious with.
