•Autofocus with manual override

Set the focus mode switch (Fig. 1) to M/A. Autofocus is provided, but you can manually override the focus by operating the separate manual focus ring while lightly depressing the shutter release button or the AF start (AF-ON) button on the camera body of cameras so equipped. To cancel manual override, remove your finger from the shutter release button or the AF start button.

•To limit the range of autofocus (for M/A mode usable cameras only) Move the focus limit switch (Fig. 2) from FULL to ∞ -3m to reduce autofocus time. This is useful when shooting subjects farther away than 3m (9.8 ft.). Set the switch to FULL when your subjects are closer than 3m.
