NOTES NOTES
• With some lenses, you may be able to operate the focus ring even when the focus mode is set to automatic.
• If you operate the zoom after focusing, the focus on the subject may be lost.
• If you focus manually and then leave the camera with the power turned on, the focus on the subject may be
lost after a while. This possible slight shift in focus is a result of the internal temperature rising in the camera

the focus ring.
• When an RC-V100 Remote Controller is connected to the camera, you can adjust the focus with the remote

Using the Focus Assistance Functions

use peaking and the focus guide or peaking and magnification simultaneously for greater effect.
Focus guide
The focus guide gives you an intuitive visual indication of the current focus distance and the direction and
amount of adjustment necessary to bring the selected subject into full focus. When used in combination with
face detection (A 75), the guide will focus on the vicinity of the eyes of the person detected as the main
subject.
