Automatically focuses quickly on the area around a previously set
distance (Semi-manual). This mode is useful when repeatedly
shooting a subject at the same distance. Use “Semi-manual” when
it is difficult to get sharp focus with automatic focusing, such as
when shooting a subject through a net or window.
• Focuses on a subject in all ranges of the finder frame in Semi-manual
mode.
