■ Autofocus with manual override (M/A mode)

1 Set the Focus mode switch " to [M/A].

Note: Be sure to set the switch so that the indicator aligns with [M/A] precisely.

2 Autofocus is provided, but you can manually override the focus by operating the separate Focus ring 2 while lightly depressing the shutter release button or the AF start (AF-ON) button on the camera.

3 To cancel manual override, again lightly depress the shutter release button or the AF start button on the camera. This will return the camera to autofocus mode.
