IS there a way to adjust the focus of the camera, where the objects are sharp?
And also a way to adjust the range of sharpness?

In Project Settings windows there is a section called Depth of Field that will do what I think you want to do.
From the Moho tutorial:
"Next are options for creating a depth of field effect. Depth of field simulates a camera, where a certain range of objects are in focus, while closer or more distant objects become blurry. The focus distance value is the distance from the camera to the plane of perfect focus. Objects that are within the "focus range" distance of this plane will also appear in focus. For this feature to work correctly, you need to set up multiple layers with different depth values so that some can be in focus, and others out of focus. If you move the layers (or the camera) in your animation, the focus will automatically change based on distance from the camera."

Kind of hard to find the section on depth of field - there is no tutorial about it.
I found it back in the User Interface > Menus section.
Though there is a tutorial called Camera and depth effects - 6.7. But it does not mention depth of field if I recall.
