AF: Autofocus MF: Manual focus

A/M (Autofocus with manual override. AF priority) mode and M/A (Autofocus with manual override. MF priority) mode

M/A: Autofocus can be overridden by manually focusing with the focus ring.

A/M: Autofocus can be overridden by manually focusing with the focus ring, but focus ring detection sensitivity is lower than in M/A mode. Use this mode to avoid canceling the AF setting by unintentionally moving the focus ring.

1Set the focus mode switch to A/M or M/A.

2Autofocus can be manually overridden by rotating the focus ring while pressing the shutter release button halfway, pressing the AF-ON button on the camera or pressing a focus operation button (with focus operation set to

AF-ON) on the lens.

3 Pressing the shutter release button halfway, pressing the AF-ON button on the camera again or pressing a focus operation button on the lens again will cancel manual override and return the lens to autofocus mode.

To limit the range of autofocus

This function is only available with autofocus.

FULL: If the subject is sometimes closer than 6 m (19.7 ft.), set the switch to FULL.

–6m:If the subject is always 6 m (19.7 ft.) or more away, set

the switch to – 6m to reduce focusing time.
