Notes
•In the case of a subject that can be focused in auto focus mode, the z indicator lights
up in the viewfinder when the focus is confirmed. When the Wide AF area is
selected, the center area is used, and when the Local AF area is selected, the area that
is selected with the multi-selector is used.
•The camera resets the focal length to (infinity) when you turn the camera on.
•When using a tele converter, etc., rotat ion of the focusing ring may not be smooth.
•When you turn the came ra off and then on again with the mode dial set to “AUTO,”
or change the exposure mode to AUTO from another mode, AF (Auto focus) is
automatically selected, regardless of the position of the focus mode lever (page47).
You can make fine adjustments after adjusting the focus in auto focus
(Direct manual focus). You can assign this function to the “A” position of
the focus mode lever.
You can quickly focus on a subject rather than using the manual focus from
the beginning. This is convenient in cases such as macro shooting.
2Rotate the focusing ring of the
lens to achieve a sharp focus.
