The focus mode ([AF]/[MF]) and the focus value are displayed.

The units for the focus value can be changed in the [ZOOM/FOCUS] menu. ( character_reference [ZOOM/FOCUS])

Switch to manual mode with the <AUTO/MANU> switch. (About auto mode/manual mode)

Press the <FOCUS A/M/> button to switch to manual focus mode.

[AF] and [MF] switch each time you press the button. The focal point goes to infinity after you press and hold the button, and then the manual focus mode is engaged.

[AF]:

Changes to the auto focus mode. The auto focus mode adjusts the focus automatically. You can also temporarily adjust the focus manually by turning the focus ring.

[MF]:

Changes to the manual focus mode. Control the focus ring manually to adjust the focus.

Turn the focus ring.

The focus value can be set between MF00 (focal distance character_asterisk : approximately 10 cm (3.93 character_double-prime )) and MF99 (focal distance: infinity). The higher the number the further away the object is to be focused on.

Focal distance is the distance to the subject to be focused on.

Since the auto focus control may not operate properly if there is a flicker, select a shutter speed that is appropriate to the light.

If you set the unit to auto focus mode at times other than 59.94i (50.00i) and 59.94p (50.00p), the time required for the focus control will be slightly longer than when in normal focus mode.

In auto mode, it is not possible to switch to the manual focus mode.
