Autofocus with manual override (M/A mode)

aSet the focus mode switch to “M/A”.

b You can manually override autofocus by

operating the focus ring while lightly depressing the shutter release button or the AF start button on the camera.

•To cancel manual override, remove your finger from the shutter release button or the AF start button on the camera, and lightly depress the shutter release button to return to the autofocus mode.

5. Depth of field

The depth-of-field indicators are engraved beside the distance index line. At close distances, however, so little is in focus that it may be better to check the depth of field table (on page 150). If your camera has a depth of field preview button or lever, use it to check the depth of field in the viewfinder.
