Use the manual focus setting when you record landscapes and want to lock infinity distance, or, on the contrary, when the distance from the subject is locked and you do not want to operate the auto focus.
[Preparation]
•Set the operational mode dial and REC mode dial. (P25)
1 Set the focus dial to [MF].
2 Center the subject in the focus area.
•The focus area becomes the selected area in AF setting. (e.g.: When the spot AF mode is changed to the manual mode)

Turn the focus ring.
•When a subject is near the focus, the
focus assist [ ] on the center of the LCD monitor will be displayed; if the focus is adjusted, the focus indication µ will appear inside [ ] and the operation beep will sound.
Take a picture.
• The recording method is the same as in “Taking Pictures (AUTO Mode)”. (P28)
•In motion image mode [ 
], the manual focus can also be used. When motion image recording starts, the focus is locked.
•When focus is adjusted in wide angle mode, focus cannot be adjusted properly in
•Even when adjusting focus in tele mode, after operating zoom, it could happen that focus is not adjusted.
•In dark places, the focus assist does not appear.
•When setting infinity distance mode, the infinity indication [¶] will appear on the LCD monitor.
•If you reset the focus ring a little, by turning it slowly in the same direction, after the focus assist has been displayed, it is easier to adjust the focus.
