You can switch between AF (automatic focus) and MF (manual focus) with
the focusing mode switch on the lens. Make sure to set the focusing mode
switch (lever) on the camera to AF.
• Make sure to set the focusing mode switch to MF for manual focus. Do not
rotate the focusing ring without setting to MF. Rotating the focusing ring
forcibly without switching to MF may damage the focusing ring.
To shoot a subject at infinite distance in MF mode
The infinity position provides for some adjustment to compensate for focus
shift caused by change in temperature. To shoot a subject at infinite distance
in MF mode, use the viewfinder and sel focus.
