nTechnique for Manual focus

1Move the joystick e/r.

2Even if the subject is focused, move it a little more.

3Return to the center to make fine adjustments.

nPrefocus

This is a technique to focus on the point to take pictures in advance when it is difficult to focus on the subject with auto focus due to its quick motion.

This function is suitable when the distance between the camera and the subject is certain.

•You can also record with manual focus in motion picture mode [i]. When starting the recording, the focus is fixed.

•When you focus on the subject in Wide, the focus may not be adequate in Tele. In this case, focus on the subject again.

•When setting the manual focus, you cannot set the continuous AF (P77).

•The MF assistance does not appear in digital zoom range.

•The distance shown shows roughly how far away the point of focus is.

•Use the MF assistant to make final adjustments to the focus.

•The AF lock is released when you select manual focus.
