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 AFON button, while the AFON button is pressed); note that the ring must be rotated a short distance before autofocus is over-ridden. To refocus using autofocus, press the shutter-release button halfway or press the AFON button again.

The Focus Limit Switch

This switch determines the focus distance limits for autofocus.

FULL: Select this option for subjects that may be closer than 3 m (9.84 ft).

∞–3 m: If your subject will always be at distance of at least 3 m (9.84 ft), select this option for faster focusing.

Zoom and Depth of Field

Before focusing, rotate the zoom ring to adjust the focal length and frame the photograph. If the camera offers depth-of-field preview (stop down), depth of field can be previewed in the viewfinder (see page 210 for more information).

Note: Note that the focus distance indicator is intended only as a guide and may not accurately show the distance to the subject and may, due to depth of field or other factors, not show ∞ when the camera is focused on a distant object.

Aperture

Aperture is adjusted using camera controls.
