5.6.4Precision focus
☞Note
Set the Lens Interface to digital in the LENS menu before using precision focus.
The camera supports the precision focus feature which is offered by some advanced (digital) lenses. This system automatically focuses the image within a user defined focus frame on the screen. When precision focus is enabled on the lens, the focus frame is superimposed on the viewfinder image. The frame can be moved and resized by the controls on the lens or on the focus handle.
