I need simplified instructions for operation of H80

I am barely computer literate. Instruction manual is complex. I need a visual aid to learn how to use this product. I am concerned about the automatic focus because our previous camcorder took a lot of bad pictures by focusing on the background instead of the face.

Basic photo composition will help (rule of thirds, sun over your shoulder, etc). But I would recommend you lookk for a basic videography class at a local Junior College. A single class will make your technique far better than when you started. You'll lean about your camera, how to use it, and make the most of it. You can search the web all day for tips adn techniques, but the bottom line is using it to shoot will help you to learn how to use it.
