Understanding the Focus Search Priority

When the camera is set to Normal Focus or Macro focus, it begins searching for focus from the last focus position.

However, you can use the buttons to change this behavior. This feature is useful when there are multiple objects at different distances in the focus region.

!Holding the button while pressing the Shutter halfway down causes the camera to begin searching for focus from the farthest position (infinity in Normal Focus and 0.4 m in Macro), thus making the camera more likely to focus on an object in the background.

!Holding the button while pressing the Shutter halfway down causes the camera to begin searching for focus from the nearest position (0.4 m in Normal Focus and 0.18 m in Macro), thus making the camera more likely to focus on an object in the foreground.
