All focus other than conscious focus is 'soft focus' by default. Even your skin is always 'soft focusing' its environment. And your peripheral vision is always receiving its environment even to a candle light a mile away in the deep dark of night. All while you are seemly unaware of same.

However, we know via intuition that candle light is out there a mile away, if we are listening aware with reason to consciously know.

Ever try walking through the woods at night or blind-folded anywhere? You can 'attune' to your environment.

Do not worry IF you are recording those pages of a book as you flip through it. You are, you always have, it is just that now you are learning to attend to use of same consciously in detail for a chosen purpose.
