Notes on Manual Focus

•When using the self-timer, be sure that the self-timer is selected ( 58) before selecting a focus distance. Changing the focus mode after setting the focus distance will cancel manual focus.

•Use autofocus ( 59) when an optional converter lens is attached ( 106). In manual focus mode, the actual focus distance will differ from that shown in the monitor.

•When manual focus is set to the end of the manual focus indicator, the camera may be unable to focus at some zoom positions. If the camera is unable to focus at the current zoom position, the manual focus display in the monitor will turn red. Zoom the camera in or out until the manual focus display no longer appears in red.

•If you adjust zoom after focusing, you will need to focus again at the new zoom position.
