How is the camera lens focused?

 

Some cameras with direct viewfinders use a range finder to give an accurate indication of where the point of focus is located.

Some toy or amateur cameras only have a series of symbols like mountains, group of people, a single person and a flower marked on the barrel of the lens to set the focus to.
