MANUAL FOCUS
There is both a Manual focus mode setting and a manual
override capability.
In Manual focus mode, focusing is carried out by rotating the
focus ring on the lens. The focus setting remains until changed
as with a conventional non-autofocus lens. This means that
pressing the shutter release button will not activate a focus
setting change as it does in autofocus. To change back to
autofocus, press the AF / MF button (B).
MANUAL OVERRIDE IN AUTOFOCUS MODE
Manual override is always possible in automatic focus mode
without any need to make a new setting. Just rotate the focusing
ring in the conventional manner. As the lens barrel does not
rotate in autofocus mode, you can hold the focusing ring for
instant manual adjustments. However, to retain the new manual
focus adjustments, you must maintain the pressure on the
shutter release button. You can instantly return to the automatic
focusing mode by releasing the pressure on the shutter release
button rst and then pressing the release button halfway again.
The instant manual override function produces a convenient way
of working. You can take advantage of autofocus while retaining
an instantly adjustable manual focus check if preferred for pin-
point accuracy without making any changes in the settings.
With manual override in autofocus mode you can manually alter
a focus setting that has been made, by rotating the lens barrel
and without having to change modes. As long as the shutter
release button is kept at the half-press position, the new focus
setting is maintained.
To reactivate the autofocus function, release the shutter release
button and press again.
