5. Shooting
Adjusting the Focus
You can adjust focus automatically or
manually according to the shooting
conditions.
[Notes]
• When a PL-mount lens is attached, focus operation
from the unit and grip remote control is not
supported.
• When the LCD monitor is in information display
mode, you cannot operate the screen displayed on an
external monitor using the multi selector on the LCD
monitor.
Adjusting the Focus Manually
(Manual Focus)
To adjust the focus manually, set the FOCUS
switch (page 4) to the "MF" position.
This allows you to adjust the focus manually
according to the shooting conditions.
Manual focusing is useful for the following
types of subjects.
• Subjects on the far side of a window
covered in water droplets
• Subjects with low contrast against the
background
• Subjects further away than nearby subjects
[Tips]
• Stable focus can be maintained by waiting at least
10 minutes after turning on the unit before adjusting
the focus.
Also, if the environmental temperature changes
significantly, you can maintain optimal shooting
conditions by refocusing.
• You can also use auto focus in the following cases
when manual adjustment is the main method of
operation.
– When the AF subject shift sensitivity is set to
1(Locked)
– When the FOCUS switch is set to the "AF" position
– When operating the focus ring (AF Assist,
page 91)
Focusing using touch operation (Spot
Focus)
In manual focus mode, you can specify the
position where you want to adjust the focus
by touch operation.
To use spot focus, set Focus >Touch Function
in MF (page 41) in the Shooting menu to
Spot Focus.
A spot focus mark is displayed when you tap
the position where you want to adjust the
focus.
[Tips]
• In spot focus mode, you can press an assignable
button (page 100) assigned with Push AF/Push MF
to temporarily stop spot focus and enable auto focus
while the button is pressed. The focus returns to
manual focus when you release the button.
• The Spot Focus function does not operate if the lens
is set for manual focusing.
• The spot focus position cannot be specified while
using focus magnifier or when Touch Operation
(page 58) in the Technical menu is set to Off.
Using auto focus temporarily (Push Auto
Focus (AF))
In manual focus mode, you can press an
assignable button (page 100) assigned with
Push AF/Push MF to temporarily enable auto
focus while the button is pressed.
Focusing occurs within the focus area set
using Focus >Focus Area (page 41) in the
Shooting menu of the full menu.
The focus returns to manual focus when you
release the button.
This is useful when you want to move the
focus slowly from one subject to another
subject during manual focus.
[Note]
The Push Auto Focus function does not operate if the
lens is set for manual focusing.
Focusing using magnified view (Focus
Magnifier)
You can select the target output for focus
magnification using Focus Magnifier
(page 54) in the Monitoring menu of the
full menu. The name of the function assigned
to an assignable button used for focus
magnification will change according to this
setting.
You can switch the focus magnifier
magnification of the LCD monitor by pressing
an assignable button (page 100) assigned
with LCD Focus Magnifier. The magnification
at the center of the screen changes as follows
each time you press the button.
