Direct manual focus (DMF)
You can make fine adjustments manually after performing auto focusing, letting you focus on a subject more quickly than
when using the manual focus from the beginning. This is convenient in situations such as macro shooting.
Hint
If you set [Full Time DMF] to [On], you can always perform manual focusing operations without setting the focus mode to [DMF].
(You cannot switch to manual focus while shooting continuously in the [Continuous AF] mode.)
