Manual Focus

In M-REC, focus distance can be selected from fifty preset dis-

tances ranging from 0.02 m (0.8 in) to infinity. Manual focus

can be used when you know the distance to your subject in

advance, or when the camera is unable to focus using autofocus.

To choose a distance for manual focus:

Press while turning

command dial

The value displayed for manual focus is the approximate dis-

tance from the front of the lens. The actual focus distance may

differ slightly from the value shown; check focus in the LCD

monitor before shooting.

Manual focus can be cancelled by pressing the button.

The flash can be used while manual focus is in effect. This makes it possible

to combine the flash with a manual focus setting of infinity.

The focus distances available depend on the zoom setting. The camera

can focus at a distance of 2 cm at the middle optical zoom position only.

The units used for manual focus distance can be chosen from the FOCUS

OPTIONS > Distance Units sub-menu in the M-REC menu. See:

“Advanced Photography: Camera Control”
