FOCUS ASSIST

The X1D camera features automatic focus assist. A white
rectangle marked green in the middle of the view provides
confirmation of a precision focus setting and are a useful aid
when making a setting with Auto Focus.
Manual focus setting
Manual focus can be used at any time even in Auto Focus Mode.
You can also switch to Manual Focus Mode and only use the
Focus Ring manually on the lens.
1 Press once on the soft button marked with a star to the right
of the Touch Display to Zoom in to 100%. This gives you a
detailed view of the focus in the focus area.
2 Rotate the Focus Ring on the Lens to adjust Focus.
3 Press the star button again to exit Zoom.
For users who prefer manual focus control but would like the
benefits of autofocus, one method is to set the AF-D button
to AF (Single) drive. The main subject can then be centred
and the AF-D pressed, to ensure correct focus. The camera
reverts immediately to manual focus control when the button
is released. Therefore, you can recompose the picture without
having to maintain pressure on the release button in order to
retain the newly automatically made focus setting.
Note!
The Camera will only display a green or red AF Focus Assist
indication when in AF mode. In Manual Focus mode the Camera
will not display any Focus Assist feedback.
Note!
Lens corrections can be applied when captures are imported
into Phocus. Guided by the information in the meta data
included with each individual capture, the DAC (digital lens
correction) tool uses lens-model specific calculations to adjust
for chromatic aberration, distortion and vignetting. Not only
model specifications but also capture parameters are taken
into consideration for analysis. This extremely capable
refinement of captures should not be overlooked when
processing files! See Phocus User Manual for details.
Note!
The autofocus function is not possible with certain combinations
of lenses and accessories. However, a warning is displayed
which disappears after confirmation.
