<Zoom/focus adjustment>

When shooting an object using an AF lens, the first adjusted focus may be out-of-focus depending on the focal depth of the lens in use. In this case, focus on a darker object with the aperture open to prevent out-of-focus.

When "ABF" is selected for "BACK-FOCUS" on the SETUP menu (refer to p. 39), the camera can automatically focus on a subject with the best available conditions even when the illumina- tion changes.

•Under near-infrared light, the focus may be slightly out-of-focus than under visible light.

When the "BACK-FOCUS SETUP" page is displayed and "AUTO" or "PRESET" is selected for "C/L ↔ B/W" using the operation buttons on the camera, the camera can focus on sub-

jects both under near-infrared light and under visible light. (However, the camera will not change the focus according to the illumination change when the focus had been adjusted once.)
