Focusing by Specifying a Focus Position (Spot Focus)

In manual focus mode, you can specify the position where you want to adjust the focus in the camera image panel.

  1. Set [Shooting] > [Focus] > [Touch Function in MF] to [Spot Focus] in the web menu or camera menu.
  2. Slide the [Touch Focus] switch on the (Focus) tab to the right position to turn it on.
  3. Slide the [Auto Focus] switch on the (Focus) tab to the left position to turn it off.
  4. Specify the focus position.

    The spot focus marker appears and the image is adjusted to be in focus at that position.

    Example of specifying the position by touch operation

Note

  • The spot focus function does not operate if the lens is set for manual focusing.

Hint

  • In spot focus mode, you can press an assignable button assigned with [Push AF/MF] to temporarily stop spot focus and enable auto focus while the button is pressed. The focus returns to manual focus when you release the button.
