Manual focus

You can manually focus on a subject by rotating the focus ring on the lens. The MF Assist function lets you easily achieve a focus. While you are rotating the focus ring, the focus area is magnified. When you use the Focus Peaking function, the color you selected appears on the focused subject. This mode is recommended for shooting an object similar in color to the background, a night scene, or fireworks.

If you use this function, you cannot set Touch AF, AF Area, and Link AE to AF Point options.
