FULL-TIME AF

Full-time AF continually focuses the camera when using spot AF areas and the FFP so the monitor image is always sharp. This also reduces the autofocusing time when taking pictures. Full time AF is set in section 2 of the recording menu. The full-time AF can be turned off to conserve power.

DIRECT MANUAL FOCUS

Direct manual focus allows manual adjustments to be made after the AF system has locked onto the subject. Direct manual focus is activated in section 2 of the recording menu (p. 84). Direct manual focus is canceled when continuous AF or manual focus (p. 44) is in use.

As described in the basic recording operation section (p. 30), press the shutter-release button partway down to lock the focus (1); the focus signal will turn white. ìDMFî will be displayed next to the drive-mode indicator.

While holding the shutter-release button partway down, the camera can be manually focused with the focusing ring (2); the Flex Digital Magnifier (p.

45)activates and an area indicated by the AF sensor is enlarged. Always use the monitor image to confirm focus. The approximate focusing distance is displayed in the lower right corner next to the frame counter. The Flex Digital Magnifier is canceled when the shutter button is released or the camera is not focused for several seconds.
