FOCUS MENU
MODE TAB
The Focus Menu is used to enable and select Focus parameters, including Mode, Zone, Size, and Enhanced
A/F.
MODE
Select one of the following from the Mode drop-down menu:
Manual: When selected, all focus operations are manual.
Confirm: Enables the Center or Spot focus target. This mode provides additional focus assistance by us-
ing red, yellow, and green color changes to the focus spot window. Inadequate subject illumination and/or
contrast may interfere with normal Focus Confirm operation.
For best results with Focus Confirm, you should “rock” the focus ring: Focus through the point of optimum
focusing and back again in decreasing amplitude, as when “zeroing-in” for precision manual focus.
AUTOFOCUS MODES (DSMC NIKON AND CANON MOUNTS)
When you have any of the following conditions, there are additional options in the Modes drop-down menu:
DSMC Nikon Mount and a supported lens is attached. The lens focus switch is set to “A” or “M/A”.
DSMC Canon Mount and a supported lens is attached. The lens focus switch is set to “AF”.
DSMC Canon MOTION MOUNT and a supported lens is attached. The lens focus switch is set to “AF”.
When any of the conditions above are met, you have the additional following options in the Modes drop-down
menu:
Single: When you press the key mapped to AF: Start, the camera performs single-shot AF. Optimized for
rapid focus even under low-contrast conditions. Works with both Center and Spot zones.
Continuous: When you press the key mapped to AF: Start, the camera attempts to keep objects in the target
in focus. Works best with good lighting and contrast. Works with both Center and Spot zones.
Touch Track: Dynamically updates a positionable AF point using the touchscreen. Only works with Spot
zone. Keep Spot target on subject while moving across frame, as the lens continuously focuses on that
target.
Rack: Enables rack focus. Only works with Spot zone. For more information about configuring rack focus,
