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. 41), 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.)
