Area focusing using manual focus

Question

how to achieve area focus using manual focus mode. I tried using the infinity, but that did not turn out to be correct for me.

I use a Nikon D3200. When I need all the subjects in focus, I put the camera in Area focus mode. But when I am trying to achieve the same using manual focus. I am not able to do so.

Please help.

What do you mean by "put the camera in Area focus mode"? Also, I suggest reading the D3200 User Guide to understand the camera's controls and terminology. — scottbb, Feb 05 '17 at 13:11

If I understand you, you need to learn about depth of field.

This is controlling aperture and using that to control how much is in (relative) focus. It's an important photographic technique.
