Using AF to Focus (AF Method)

If you cannot achieve focus under the shooting conditions listed on the preceding page, set the lens focus mode switch to <MF> and focus manually.

If you shoot a peripheral subject and it is slightly out of focus, aim the center AF point or zone over the subject to focus, focus again, and then take the picture.

The AF-assist beam will not be emitted. However, if an EX-series Speedlite (sold separately) equipped with an LED light is used, the LED light will turn on for AF-assist when necessary.

During magnified view, camera shake may make it harder to achieve focus. Using a tripod is recommended.
