Star AF
Shooting Procedures
1. Switch the camera to Live View.
2. Adjust the angle of view (zoom) and composition so that the desired stars are in the AF frame. Make sure only stars are in the AF
frame.

Caution
• Focusing takes approx. 10 to 20 seconds.
• When taking multiple frames, switch to manual focus after focusing is complete.
• If autofocus is complete but the stars are not in focus, the AF frame turns red and then returns to white after a certain amount of
time passes.
• Focusing may fail in locations with ambient brightness (significant light pollution, etc.) or if you cannot see stars with the naked
eye.
• If the stars still are not in focus after using “Star AF” multiple times, try adjusting the composition slightly or making other
adjustments.
6. When focusing is complete, the AF frame turns green and the focus is locked. (Do not operate the lens after focusing is complete.)
3. Secure the camera to a tripod, etc. to make sure it does not move.
4. Either press the shutter release button halfway, press the AF button, or press the shutter release button on the remote control unit
to start focusing.
5. The AF active area is magnified during focusing. (Focusing takes time. Keep the camera still until it is complete.)
7. Press the shutter release button fully or press the shutter release button on the remote control unit to release the shutter.
When the AF frame is green (focus is locked), autofocus is not performed even if the shutter release button is pressed halfway.
• To unlock the focus, press the MENU button, or press the shutter release button halfway and then release it.
The AF frame color returns from green to white (the state it was in before “Star AF” was started).
