5. Shooting: Adjusting the Focus
Adjusting the Focus Automatically
(Auto Focus)
The unit uses phase detection AF for high-
speed focusing and contrast AF for high-
accuracy focusing.
The combination of these two AF methods
provides auto focus with both high speed and
high accuracy.
To adjust the focus automatically, set the
FOCUS switch (page 4) of the unit to the
"AF" position. If the lens is fitted with a focus
selector switch, set the switch to the "AF/MF"
or "AF" position. If the switch is set to the "Full
MF" or "MF" position, lens focusing cannot be
operated from the unit.
[Tip]
When Focus >AF Assist (page 41) in the Shooting
menu of the full menu is set to On, you can still use the
focus ring on the lens during auto focus to adjust the
focus.
[Notes]
• A lens that supports auto focus is required.
• Accuracy may not be obtained depending on the
shooting conditions.
• The focus cannot be adjusted automatically on a PL-
mount lens.
• Auto focus cannot be used when De-Squeeze >Ratio
(page 52) is set to a value other than Off(1.0×) in
the Monitoring menu of the full menu.
