•The view in front of the camera should not be changed during focus adjustment (steps 5 and 6). If the camera is moved, or if a finger or other object is placed in front of the lens, steps 3 - 7 will have to be repeated.

•If movements in front of the camera cannot be avoided, the Focus Assistant should not be used.

•If the camera is mounted so that the Function button cannot be accessed, you can still use the Focus Assistant. Follow the instructions above but mount the camera after step 4, pressing the Function button instead and skip step 7.
