Shooting in Manual Focus Mode

1. Press the <MF> button until appears.
   
   
   • The indicator appears.
   • When the [ (Rec.)] menu's [MF-Point Zoom] is set to [On], the portion of the image in that frame will appear magnified. (Except in the (Stitch Assist) or (Movie) modes, when the digital zoom is activated, or when a TV is used as the display.)
   • Can also be set so that the image is not magnified by setting [MF-Point Zoom] to [OFF].
   • The indicator shows approximate figures. Use them as a shooting guideline only.
   • In the Tv, Av, or M modes, pressing the <SET> button cycles the selection between the shutter speed, the aperture value, and the MF indicator. (A green appears next to the selected item).
     
     
     
     
2. Focus using the or button and shoot the image.
   
   
   • Adjust the focus using the or button until the image appears focused on the LCD monitor.
   • Pressing the <MF> button again cancels the manual focus mode.
     

You can use manual focus in the macro focal distance 5 to 45 cm (2.0 in. to 1.5 ft.) at wide angle end and 30 to 45 cm (11.8 in. to 1.5 ft.) at telephoto end. In this case, the scale of the MF indicator will be changed. You can change the MF indicator displayed distance units in the [Set-up] menu.
