True Focus can be used with longer lenses, smaller apertures etc but the further you come from situations similar to the 'ideal' as described above, the less the effect will be until it has no visible effect at all. Please remember that although True Focus can noticeably improve a demanding shoot it will only work effectively in the specific circumstances­ it was designed for.

See an explanation of True Focus and further details about use towards the end of this chapter.

Autofocus mode setting

Focus mode is set via the control wheels in the following manner:

In camera active mode:

1)Press the AF button on the grip.

2)Turn the front control wheel to: Single Shot, Continuous, True Focus or Manual as required.

3)Press Save (ISO/WB button) to store the setting.

Manual override in autofocus mode

Manual override is always possible in automatic focus mode without any need to make a new setting; just rotate the focusing ring in the conventional manner. As the lens barrel does not rotate in autofocus mode, you can hold the focusing ring for instant manual adjustments as you would with a conventional lens. However, to retain the new manual focus adjustments, you must maintain the pressure on the shutter release button. You can instantly return to the automatic focusing mode by releasing the pressure on the shutter release button first and then pressing the release button halfway again.

The instant manual override facility produces a convenient way of working. You can take advantage of autofocus while retaining an instantly adjustable manual focus check if preferred for pin-point accuracy without making any changes in the settings.
