Manual Focus

If it is difficult to achieve the proper focus in the autofocus mode, you can adjust the focus manually.

  1. MENU (Camera Settings1) → [Focus Mode][Manual Focus].
  2. MENU (Camera Settings1) → [Set Focus].

    The screen for manual focusing operations will appear.

    • When [Focus Standard] is assigned to the (Enter) button using [Custom Key] or [Custom Key], the manual focusing screen can be displayed by pressing the (Enter) button.
  3. Press the up/down/left/right buttons to adjust the focus.

    The focusing distance jumps at a fixed interval when you press the up/down buttons in the order of “0.2m ↔ 0.5m ↔ 0.7m ↔ 3m ↔ ∞.”
    To perform micro adjustments, press the left/right buttons.

    • To enable fine adjustments to the focus under various conditions, the focusing indicator can be moved beyond infinity. When you want to focus at infinity, do not move the indicator to the end of the bar. Instead, adjust the focus while viewing the monitor, etc. and use the ∞ mark where the focusing indicator stops when you press the up button as a guide.
    • To return to the shooting screen, press the (Enter) button.

Hint

  • Using [MF Assist] allows you to perform manual focusing more easily because the image is automatically enlarged during the manual focus adjustments.
  • When you use [Peaking Setting], the outlines of in-focus ranges are enhanced using a specific color. This function allows you to check the focus easily.

Note

  • Manually set focus distances are cancelled when the [Focus Mode] is reselected.
