Technique for Manual focus

1Focus by tilting the joystick toward 3/4.

2 Tilt it a little more in the same direction. 3 Tilt the joystick in the opposite direction to

finely focus on the subject.

Prefocus

This is a technique for focusing in advance on the point the pictures will be taken when it is difficult to focus on the subject with auto focus due to its quick motion. (e.g. [PANNING] (P70) in scene mode) This function is suitable when the distance between the camera and the subject is certain.

One shot AF

You can focus on the subject with auto focus by selecting [MF] with [AF/MF] button and then pressing [AF#/FOCUS] switch button.

This is convenient for prefocus.

Note

You can also use manual focus while in motion picture mode, but the focus cannot be adjusted during recording.

If you focus on the subject in Wide and then rotate the zoom lever to Tele, the focus may not be adequate. In this case, focus on the subject again.

The MF assistance does not appear when using the digital zoom.

The distance to the subject displayed on the screen in manual focus is an approximation of the focus position. Use the MF assistance screen for a final check of the focus.

After canceling power save mode, focus on the subject again.
