Firey,
I just used my digital compact in macro mode. Held camera close to fly with fly in the auto focus zone. Camera done eveything else

Just realised, this is exactly the way your eye works. Focus your attention on a small object in the foreground and distance will be blurred. In target shooting your sight picture contains a sharp foresight and blurred target because you are focusing on the front sight.
