Using the AF Target Shift Function

During macro shooting, the AF target shift function allows you to lock the focus (P.33) by using the !"#$ buttons on the camera without moving the camera.

This is useful for macro shooting on a tripod with Focus Lock.

The AF target shift function allows you to shift the cross-mark at the center of the screen to the subject you want the camera to focus on with the !"#$ buttons.

When the AF target is shifted to the left with the # button

1. With the camera ready to shoot, press the N (Macro) button.

The Macro symbol appears at the top of the screen.

2. Press the ADJ. button.

3. Press the #$ buttons until the AF target shift function screen (cross- mark shown in the figure) appears.

4. Shift the cross-mark to the subject you want the camera to focus on with the !"#$ buttons.

5. Press the C/Dbutton.

6. Half-press the shutter release button.

The camera focuses on the area at the position of the cross-mark.

7. Gently press the shutter release button all the way.

The AF target shift function automatically focuses the camera on the set position until Macro Mode is canceled.
