Adjusting The Focus; Adjusting In Full Mf Mode - Sony EXMOR PMW-EX1 Operating Instructions Manual

Adjusting the Focus

You can select any of three modes for focus
adjustments.
Full MF (Full Manual Focus) mode
Only adjustment with the focus ring is effective in
this mode.
You can adjust the focus from
length by rotating the ring. The ring rotates
endlessly in the both directions.
MF (Manual Focus) mode
In this mode, auto focus can be temporarily
activated by pushing the PUSH AF button.
The MF Assist function can be used for
assistance.
AF (Auto Focus) mode
Auto focus functions continuously in this mode.
The focus ring and the PUSH AF button can also
be used.
Note
The infinity position has some margin to
compensate for focus change caused by variation
in ambient temperature. When shooting an image
at infinity in MF or Full MF mode, adjust the
focus while observing the image on the LCD
monitor/EVF screen.

Adjusting in Full MF Mode

Pull the focus ring rearward (toward the
camcorder body) to set the camcorder to Full MF
mode. Focus can only be adjusted with the focus
ring manually.
Note
The focus instantly moves to the range index
position when you pull the focus ring rearward.
