You can select the focus area that best suits the kind of pictures you intend

to take. Push and hold the focus selection button [A] for at least one second;

then turn the front or rear dial to select the appropriate focus area. The

selected focus area can be seen on the main LCD panel. When the preferred

focus mark is selected, press the SET [B] button or the focus point selector

button [A] to exit the setting.

Multi Area Focus

When selecting multi area focus, the focus points are positioned in the

viewnder according to the illustration shown to the left.

If multiple objects are located within the focus frame, the camera will lock on

to the object closest to the camera.

Spot Focus Area

When spot focus is selected, the camera will lock on to objects positioned in

the center of the viewnder. The camera will focus on the center mark in the

focus frame [ O ] in the viewnder.

Manual Focus Mode (M)

To attain full manual control of the focus function you can change to manual

focus mode in two ways.

1. All lenses: Turn the focus mode selector lever to M (manual focus mode).

2. Manual Focus operation for telephoto and zoom lenses: All newer Phase

One, Mamiya and Schneider Kreutznach lenses can be switched from Auto

Focus to Manual Focus by using the AF ring or slider tted on the lens.

For lenses with AF slider, slide the focusing ring on the lens backward until

it clicks. When this is done, the Auto Focus inscription on the lens barrel is

covered and the lens can then be focused manually. For lenses with an AF ring,

simply rotate the AF ring to the MF position to select manual focus.

Turn the lens focusing ring until the subject is in focus. When correct focus has

been achieved, the focus mark in the viewnder will light up.
