For capturing distant subjects, the camera offers an impressive 25x optical zoom, allowing users to get up close and personal from a distance.Does anybody have any recommendations to avoid this problem of the camera focusing on the clouds and not the bird?

It works really well and makes the image a lot closer without compromising the quality of the picture.

Regrettably shooting bird photos at long distances with the less expensive cameras is extremely difficult. For adventures, life events, you name it - 25x optical zoom lets you get nice and close (without having to get too close). Easy to set up, limited instructions but easy enough to get around once you know the basic controls.
