∫ Technique for Manual focus
1 Focus by tilting the joystick toward 3/4.
2 Tilt it a little more in the same direction.
3 Tilt the joystick in the opposite direction to
finely focus on the subject.
∫ One shot AF
You can focus on the subject with auto focus by
selecting [MF] with Focus selector switch and then
pressing the [FOCUS] button.
This is convenient for prefocus.
∫ Prefocus
This allows the camera to be focused in advance on an arbitrary point. It is useful when it
is difficult to achieve a sharp focus using autofocus or the subject is fast-moving.
This function is suitable when the distance between the camera and the subject is certain.
Note
You can also use manual focus while in motion picture mode, but the focus cannot be adjusted
•
during recording.
If you focus on the subject in Wide and then rotate the zoom lever to Tele, the focus may not be
•
adequate. In this case, focus on the subject again.
The MF assistance does not appear when using the digital zoom.
•
The distance to the subject displayed on the screen in manual focus is an approximation of the
•
focus position. Use the MF assistance screen for a final check of the focus.
After cancelling power save mode, focus on the subject again.
