Manual Focus
Manual focus can be used at any time, even in Autofocus Mode. Users can also switch to
Manual Focus Mode and use the focus ring manually on the lens only.
For users who prefer manual focus control but would like the benefits of autofocus, one
method is to use the AF-D button for autofocus single. Align the focus point with the subject
and press and hold the AF-D button. The camera uses the AF system to set the correct focus
and reverts immediately to manual focus control when the button is released. In this case,
users can recompose the picture. There is no need to hold the shutter release button to
retain the autofocus setting.
AF-D is disabled when Manual Focus Mode is selected with the push-pull focus ring on the
lens in the front position.
Manual Focus in Live View
1. Double-tap the touch display or press the rear scroll wheel (when set to zooming in) to
zoom in on the image to 100% of the original size to check the focus area details.
2. Rotate the focus ring of the lens to focus.
3. Double-tap again to zoom out of the image to full image.
There are two focus assists for manual focus, Auto Zoom and Focus Indicator. Refer to the
following section for more information.
If Auto Zoom is selected, the camera will automatically zoom in to 100% when rotating the
focus ring. It will return to full image after a few seconds of inactivity.
Enabling MF Assist
Go to Main Menu > Focus > MF Assist, and then select Auto Zoom or Focus Indicator.
In Full Auto Exposure Mode, MF Assist is set to Focus Indicator when using Manual Focus
Mode. Users cannot change the setting.
