Hints

To manually adjust the focus, always push the zoom lever toward the T (telephoto) side to magnify the subject. This prevents blurred images when you switch to wide-angle zooming.

If you wish to adjust exposure while focusing manually, press f. The exposure bar lights in orange. To return to manual focusing, press e.

Auto Focus may not perform well on subjects if: subjects are not in the center of the frame, both near and far subjects are within the auto focus bracket at the same time, subjects are moving rapidly, subjects are dark or low in contrast, etc.
