How do I set my Canon lens focus to infinity?

When should I focus to infinity?

How do you find infinity focus?
You may also notice the word or infinity symbol on one of your camera lenses. This can usually be found when you turn your camera lens to manual focus (MF) and rotate the focus ring either all the way to the right, or all the way to the left.

Why does my lens focus past infinity?
“The focusing ring of the telephoto lens stops slightly past the ∞ mark. This is because temperature change chases the focusing point to shift, making the lens focus on a point past the ∞ mark. Even when shooting at infinity, be sure the lens is in focus utilizing the focus indicator before releasing the shutter.”
