Using the Quick-Shift Focus System ( -series cameras only)

If you use the lens with an camera and the focus mode is set to autofocus, you can focus manually after autofocus is achieved. Just turn the focusing ring to manually touch- up the focus. You can do this without switching the focus mode to MF.

How to use the Quick-Shift Focus System

1.Using Autofocus

Set the camera’s focus mode switch to autofocus, then press the shutter button halfway (or press the AF button) to autofocus.

2.Adjust the focus by turning the focusing ring.

3.Finally, press the shutter release button to take the picture.

CAUTION

During the autofocus operation, the focusing ring does not rotate. Do not turn the focusing ring during the autofocus operation. Doing so will cause a malfunction.

When using the Quick Shift Focus System, keep pressing the shutter button (or AF button) after you achieve focus and before taking the picture. If you let go of the shutter button before taking the picture, you will have to focus all over again when you press the shutter button again.
