DIRECT MANUAL FOCUS

Direct manual focus allows manual adjustments to be made after the AF system has locked onto the subjects. Direct manual focus is activated in the custom 1 section of the setup menu (p. 124). Direct manual focus is canceled when continuous AF (p. 81) or manual focus (p. 94) is in use.

As described in the basic recording operation section (p. 31), press the shutter-release button partway down to lock the focus and exposure (1); the shutter speed and aperture display will turn black and the focus signal will turn white. “DMF” will be displayed next to the drive-mode indicator.

The camera can be manually focused until the shutter button is released. The approximate focusing distance is displayed next to the frame counter. Electronic magnifica- tion (p. 94) can be used while direct manual focus is active.
