Focus
The camera offers the following ways to focus, depending on the lens used. The camera incorporates Dual Pixel
CMOS AF technology for advanced autofocus performance with compatible lenses. Refer to the list of
compatible lenses and functions that can be used (A 242).
You can also adjust the focus remotely using Browser Remote on a connected network device (A 184).
Note that some methods allow you to operate aspects of the focus by touching the LCD screen.
Manual focus (MF): Turn the focus ring on the lens to adjust the focus. The camera offers several focus
assistance functions (A 79) to help you focus more accurately when using the manual focus.
Automatic focus (AF): The focus is adjusted automatically.
- One-shot AF*: You will be able to focus manually but still have the option to press an assignable button set
to [One-Shot AF] to let the camera focus automatically once on the subject inside the AF frame.
- Continuous AF*: The camera automatically keeps the subject inside the AF frame in focus at all times. You
can use the AF lock function (A 83) to change the composition of the picture while keeping the focus on
the selected spot.
Functions related to focus adjustment:
- Subject detection: Set a subject to be detected in advance to automatically detect the face/head, eyes or
body of a person or an animal.
- Subject tracking: After you select a subject, the camera keeps focusing it and tracks the subject if it moves.
* Not available when a manual focus lens is attached to the camera.

NOTES
NOTES
• With some lenses, you may be able to operate the focus ring even when the focus mode is set to automatic.
• If you operate the zoom after focusing, the focus on the subject may be lost.
• If you focus manually and then leave the camera with the power turned on, the focus on the subject may be
lost after a while. This possible slight shift in focus is a result of the internal temperature rising in the camera
and lens. Check the focus before resuming shooting.
• When adjusting the focus, be careful not to touch the front of the lens or moving parts on the lens except for
the focus ring.
• When an RC-V100 Remote Controller is connected to the camera, you can adjust the focus with the remote
controller’s FOCUS dial. At default settings, turn the dial right to focus farther and left to focus nearer.
