Versatile Focus Assist

The AG-AC160A/AC130A feature the Turbo-Speed One-Push Auto- Focus to focus an object in less than 0.5 seconds*. The focus bar indicates the focus level, the focus-in-red display shows the focus area, and a new expand function enlarges the center of the displayed image. These three display functions help you to focus quickly and accurately. A face detection function is also provided, and area auto focus and area auto iris are possible.

*Focusing time may vary depending on shooting conditions and object.

Area Focusing and Area Iris Functions

Using the function knob (cursor key), you can select a desired area in the frame and set it as a target zone for focusing, iris adjustment and YGET (brightness measurement). This increases shot-composing flexibility. In

addition to the above threeArea Function modes, there are two other modes: simultaneous focusing/iris adjustment and simultaneous focusing/YGET.
