Press the center of the controller to switch between the two functions; the function highlighted in blue is active. With “FOCUS” highlighted, use the up/down keys of the controller to focus; the approximate focus distance is displayed at the bottom of the monitor next to the frame counter. All distances are measured from the CCD.
When the focus is set to the minimum focusing distance, as the lens is zoomed, the distance will change to match the minimum focusing distance at each focal length. Manual focus is not available when the monitor is turned off. The controller function will automatically switch to the zoom.
