Note

•On the Defocus Control setting screen of Intelligent Auto ( or ) Mode, the AF Mode is [Ø].

You can set the location of the AF area by touching the screen. (Size cannot be changed)

•After beginning motion picture recording, the amount of defocus will vary depending on the recording conditions.

•Aperture is controlled within the range of appropriate exposure during the recording of a motion picture, so the aperture may not actually change even when the slide bar is moved depending on the brightness of the subject, and the blurriness may not change.

(When recording dark scenes in rooms etc., the aperture may remain fully open and leave the defocus state unchanged, even when you move the slide bar from end to end.)

•Depending on the lens used, you may hear a sound from the lens when the Defocus Control is used, but this is due to operation of the aperture of the lens and it is not a malfunction.

•Depending on the lens used, operational sound of the Defocus Control may be recorded during the recording of a motion picture when the function is used.

•Depending on the lens used, Defocus Control function may not operate. Refer to the website for compatible lenses.

•In [Miniature Effect] of Creative Control Mode, Defocus Control cannot be used.
