TEMPORARILY ACTIVATED BY A SELECTED CUSTOMIZABLE BUTTON – AUTOFOCUS RETAINED

MENU > SETTINGS > CUSTOM OPTIONS

In this mode the True Focus function is activated by pressing an assigned button. This produces a ‘one-shot’ setting where the camera reverts to its original Autofocus setting after capture. Useful if you want to quickly switch back and forth be- tween True Focus and normal Autofocus. Works with or without a Custom Options #31 setting.

1.Press MENU button on grip and select Settings or press MENU twice.

2.Select Custom Options and the desired button to reassign with the Front scroll wheel (M.UP button in this example). Select True Focus with the Rear scroll wheel. Save.

2.Aim camera at important area in subject and press the selected button (the grip display now indicates AF-Tmode).

3.Wait for the True Focus icon to appear (in the viewfinder) and the audio con- firmation signal.

4.Recompose the picture and press shutter release button (camera does not re- focus ­because it is temporarily in AF-Tmode). The True Focus icon disappears from the viewfinder. Camera reverts to AF-S.

Note that camera reverts to AF-Sif the focusing ring on the lens is moved.
