WARNING
When the camera is set to autofocusing with the laser method, do not point the camera at the face of a
person when you use the autofocus function. The laser beam can cause eye irritation.
7.4.3 Continuous autofocus
The camera can be set up to perform continuous autofocusing.
When the continuous autofocus function is enabled, the camera bases the focus adjust-
ments on continuous laser distance measurements. The laser is continuously on.
To enable or disable continuous autofocus, select
cus > Continuous autofocus > On or Off.
WARNING
Do not point the camera at the face of a person when the continuous autofocus function is on. The cam-
era uses laser distance measurements (that are continuous) for the focus adjustments. The laser beam
can cause eye irritation.
Note
• Before you can enable continuous autofocus, you need to enable the laser and select
laser as focus method. See section 7.4.2.1 Autofocus method.
• When continuous autofocus is enabled, it is not possible to manually adjust the focus
by rotating the focus ring.
• You can also assign the continuous autofocus function to the programmable button.
For more information, see section 7.9 Programmable button.
• Continuous autofocus is not supported by all camera models.
7.5 Operating the laser distance meter
7.5.1 General
The laser distance meter consists of a laser transmitter and a laser receiver. The laser
distance meter determines the distance to a target by measuring the time it takes for a la-
ser pulse to reach the target and return to the laser receiver. This time is converted to a
distance, which is displayed on the screen.
The laser transmitter also works as a laser pointer. When the laser is on, you will see a
laser dot approximately at the target.
WARNING
Do not look directly into the laser beam. The laser beam can cause eye irritation.
