Manual Focus

When manual focus is in the macro close-up range (the end of the manual focus display), the manual focus display will turn green and the camera will be able to focus on subjects as close as 3 cm (1˝). Note that minimum focus distance varies with zoom position; at some positions, the camera may be unable to focus in the macro close-up range. If the camera is unable to focus at the current zoom position, the manual focus display will turn red.

The AE/AF-Lbutton can not be used to lock focus in manual focus mode.

Use autofocus with optional converter lenses ( 97).
