Focusing (Fig. A)

Set your camera’s focus mode selector according to the chart below:

Autofocus with manual override (M/A mode)

aSet the lens focus mode switch to M/A.

bAutofocus is enabled, but autofocus operation can be overridden by rotating the separate focus ring while pressing the shutter-release button halfway, or by pressing the AF-ON button on the camera body of cameras so equipped.

cPress the shutter-release button halfway or the AF-ON button once again to cancel manual focus and resume autofocus.

Important

When using infrared film, it is necessary to use a red (R60) filter on the lens and compensate focus manually.

Focus on the subject. Rotate the focus ring to realign the desired distance scale number (“1 m” in Fig. “Depth of field” on p. 14) to the infrared compensation scale to compensate focus. When done, attach the R60 filter.
