[ Precautions for auto-focus
Focus detection zone @A small area around the centre
of the picture, which varies
depending on the zoom and
focus conditions, is used to
detect focus. (no actual in-
dication provided on the
screen.)
@Do not touch the focus ring while the auto-focus
mechanism is in operation.
@Be careful not to cover the auto-focus sensor
window, otherwise accurate focusing will not be
possible.
@When not in use, do not jeave the GR-65E in the
Auto-focus mode with power on; otherwise light
entering the auto-focus sensor window will operate
the auto-focus mechanism, consuming power.
@lf the lens and/or auto-focus sensor window are
smeared with stains or blurred with condensation,
accurate focusing is not possible. Keep them clean.
lf they become dirty, wipe with a piece of soft
cloth. When condensation occurs, dry them by
wiping with a soft cloth or wait for conditions in
which they become dry.
®Correct focus may not be obtained in the following
situations. In such cases manual focusing should
be performed to obtain proper focus.

| Manual focus
If the manual focus mode is selected, proceed as
follows:
1. Zoom in on a subject by
pressing the ‘'T” button.
2. Focus onto it by turning
the focus ring. Refer to the
focus aid indication chart
below.
3. Determine the composi-
tion by pressing the ‘“‘W”
button.
Notes:
@When you use the Manual Focus mode, be sure to
focus the lens in the maximum telephoto position.
lf you focus in on a certain subject in the wide-
angle position, sharply-focused images cannot be
obtained when zoomed up because the depth of
field is reduced at longer focal lengths.
®@Covering the white balance sensor while manually
focusing will result in poor colour reproduction.
