MF/AF (Manual Focus/Auto Focus)
✤The MF/AF function works in CAM and M.REC mode only.
✤In most situations, it is better to use the automatic focus
feature, as it enables you to concentrate on the creative side of your recording.
✤Manual focusing may be necessary under certain conditions that make automatic focusing difficult and/or unreliable.
