Manual Focus Override

The Sinar Hy6 system is equipped with a Manual Focus Override-function, which means that manual focusing is also possible when an automatic focus mode has been set.

To use the Manual Focus Override function, turn the focusing ring 1, and press the button AF-Lock B9 before activating the shutter. When the button AF-Lock B9 is not pressed, the focus values will be automatically adapted by the system.

The button AF-Lock B10 assumes two different functions depending on whether an Auto Focus Mode or Manual Focus has been selected:

When an Auto Focus Mode is selected, the currently active focus values are saved, and the automatic focus adaptation by pressing the shutter release button is locked. When the Release Button B1 is pressed simultaneously with the button AF-Lock B10, these saved focus values are applied to the image.

When Manual Focus is selected, pressing the button AF-Lock B10 activates the Auto Focus.
