Using Manual Focus

You can use manual focus when auto focus is not possible. If you press the shutter button halfway after roughly focusing manually, you can fine tune the focus.

1. Choose MF by pressing the button, and then press the buttons or use the control dial to choose MF and press the <FUNC./SET> button. The MF and the MF indicator will appear.

2. Using the bar that shows the distance display and AF point zoom as a guide, turn the <Control Dial> while looking at the magnified display to adjust the focus. The image at the center of the AF frame is displayed enlarged.

3. If you press the shutter button halfway you can fine tune the focus (Safety MF).

You can also focus using the lens ring. You cannot change the AF frame setting or size while focusing manually. If you want to change the AF frame mode or size, cancel the Manual focus mode first. In order to focus accurately, you are recommended to fix the camera to a tripod. Magnified display cannot be used with the Digital Zoom, the Digital Tele-Converter or when connected to a TV however the focus can be adjusted. If [MF-Point Zoom] is set to [Off] in the shooting menu tab, the magnified display will not be available. If the [Safety MF] is set to [Off] in the shooting menu tab, you will not be able to fine tune the focus even if you press the shutter button.
