If desired, autofocus can be over-ridden by rotating the lens focus ring while the shutter-release button is pressed halfway (or, if the camera is equipped with an AF-ONbutton, while the AF-ONbutton is pressed). To refocus using autofocus, press the shutter-release button halfway or press the AF-ONbutton again.

Note: Infrared Film

When using the lens with infrared film, adjust focus manually. After focusing, note the current focus distance (“4 m” in the “Depth of Field” figure below) as shown by the focus distance indicator, rotate the focus ring to align this distance with the infrared compensation mark, and then attach a red filter.

Depth of Field

The depth-of-field indicators on the lens show the approximate depth of field (see page 170 for more information). If the camera offers depth-of-field preview (stop down), depth of field can also be previewed in the viewfinder.
