Remote Control Focus Fine Adjustment
Function Overview
• “Remote Control Focus Fine Adjustment” is a function to fine-tune the focus with the optional Remote Control Waterproof O-RC1
without operating the lens or camera. This function is useful for astrophotography, macro shooting, and other situations where
direct contact with the lens makes subtle focusing difficult. Make sure to securely mount the camera on a tripod, etc.
* This function works only with autofocus lenses.
Select [AF with Remote Control] in
the 6 “Function Customization”

Shooting Procedures
1. Set the drive mode to a mode for remote control use ([Remote Control (0 sec.)] or [Remote Control (3 sec.)]).
Caution
• Both the optical viewfinder and Live View are available for shooting. It is recommended to use the magnified view with Live View
for checking the focus accurately.
• The focus may not change when pressing the button once depending on the lens status. Press the button multiple times until the
focus changes.
• Each time the button is pressed, the focus changes slightly. For quick focusing, first roughly set the focus manually.
• If you try to release the shutter other than with the remote control unit, autofocus may be activated unintentionally.
