yah yah yah yah yarrr
these are usual suspects for focus options

think it was centre-weighted for the picture posted. or at least so says exif :p

will probably need longer exposure, but usually worth it in quality difference.

things to maybe experiment with: lowering exposure a bit (e.g. set EV -0.3 or 0.6), and flicking through white balance settings. can get some fun colours playing with white balance :)
