Which Focus Mode to Use

This is another setting where you simply set it and forget it, because it’s not gonna change while we’re shooting landscapes. Since your landscape is a still object, set your focus mode to single focus (rather than any type of continuous focus mode). You want to be able to choose the spot where your camera focuses—you don’t want it to choose for you, since there’s a reasonable chance it won’t make an awesome choice. So, set your focus mode to single and you’re good to go.
