Temporarily switching to auto focus

The camera will focus automatically while you press down the PUSH AUTO button.

The correct focus may not be obtained with auto focusing, depending on the condition of the subject. In this case, use manual focusing.

Auto focus may not work properly if there is flickering. Select a shutter speed suited to the ambient light. (Page 46)

If the auto focus mode is set with any format except 60i and 60P (when SYSTEM FREQ is set to 59.9 Hz), or 50i and 50P (when SYSTEM FREQ is set to 50 Hz), controlling the focus will take slightly longer than in the normal focus mode.

Adjusting the focus to infinity

Press the ∞ button to focus the camera to infinity. MF95 is displayed on the viewfinder and LCD monitor.

Press the FOCUS BAR button to make the focus bar disappear.
