With Manual Override, you can manually alter a focus setting that has been made in the auto-
focus mode, by rotating the lens barrel in the conventional manner and without having to
change modes. As long as the shutter release button is kept at the half-press position, the new
focus setting is maintained. By releasing the pressure on the shutter release button and press-
ing again, the autofocus function is immediately reactivated.

You can also use the shutter release button 'half-press' function to save a new setting
and automatically return to the standard screen.
Manual override in autofocus mode
Manual override is always possible in automatic focus mode without any need to make a new
setting; just rotate the focusing ring in the conventional manner. As the lens barrel does not
rotate in autofocus mode, you can hold the focusing ring for instant manual adjustments as
you would with a conventional lens. However, to retain the new manual focus adjustments,
you must maintain the pressure on the shutter release button. You can instantly return to
the automatic focusing mode by releasing the pressure on the shutter release button first and
then pressing the release button halfway again.
