∫ Technique for Manual Focus
1 Focus by rotating the rear dial.
2 Press the cursor button a few more times
in the same direction.
3 Finely focus on the subject by pressing
the cursor button in reverse.
∫ One shot AF
You can focus on the subject with Auto Focus by selecting [MF] with Focus selector switch
and then pressing the 3 (FOCUS) button.
This is convenient for prefocus.
∫ Prefocus
This is a technique for focusing in advance on the point the pictures will be taken when it is
difficult to focus on the subject with Auto Focus due to its quick motion.
This function is suitable when the distance between the camera and the subject is certain.
Note
•
If you focus on the subject in Wide and then rotate the zoom lever to Tele, the focus may not be
adequate. In this case, focus on the subject again.
• The MF assistance does not appear when using the Digital Zoom.
• The distance to the subject displayed on the screen in Manual Focus is an approximation of the
focus position. Use the MF assistance screen for a final check of the focus.
• After canceling Sleep Mode, focus on the subject again.
• Using MF assistance in combination with AE Lock makes it easy to check the focus.
