Fokusoitavissa

Fokusoitavissa is a Finnish term used to describe something that can be focused or is capable of being focused. It is formed from the verb fokusoida (to focus) and a suffix that denotes capability, and it functions as an adjective or participial expression in technical contexts.

Meaning and scope

The concept is primarily employed in optics, imaging, display technology, and human–machine interfaces. It covers both physical focus control, such as adjustable camera lenses or microscopes, and software-controlled focus processes in imaging pipelines or autofocus systems. It can also apply to user interface elements that can receive focus in accessibility or keyboard navigation contexts.

Grammar and usage

Fokusoitavissa typically modifies a noun to indicate focus adjustability. In Finnish text, it often appears as fokusoitavissa oleva + noun, meaning “a noun that is focusable.” The form is common in technical manuals, specifications, and design documentation, where precise capability descriptions are important. Variants may include fokusoitava or fokusoitettava, depending on grammatical needs and style guides.

Examples

In optics: Kameran objektiivissa on fokusoitavissa oleva tarkennus, jonka avulla kuvan tarkkuutta voidaan säätää. In UI design: Käyttöliittymän elementti on fokusoitavissa, jotta näppäimistöllä voidaan ohjata kohdistinta. In imaging software: Ohjelmassa on fokusoitavissa oleva kohdistusmoduuli, joka parantaa tarkennuksen automaattista säätöä.

Relation to related terms

Fokusoida, tarkennus, kohdistus ja fokusoitettava (the adjective form) are closely related concepts. The term remains largely technical and may be less common in everyday Finnish, but it is understood in engineering, design, and accessibility discussions.
