On my new SX 520, I can't find any settings or modes for far distance (infinity) or scenery. I often take photos of quickly moving airplanes overhead in a clear sky. The autofocus cannot focus on the aircraft or on the sky so the photos often are out-of-focus. There are no manual settings that I can find for this problem; any suggestions? Thanks.

All cameras take photos in the same way. They use the correct combination of shutter speed, aperture & ISO to get a correct exposure. If the camera you bought doesn't have a short cut setting allowing you to by pass picking appropriate settings you'll need to learn some basic photography principals. For instance, shooting flying aircraft. To shoot prop planes you use a shutter speed which allows prop blur (usually 1/320 sec or slower) while you use a fast shutter speed for jets (1/1000 & faster). Select Tv & the right shutter speed & start practicing.
