Setting the Auto Focus Target Manually (AF Assist) Using the Web App
After shifting and adjusting the focus manually, you can pass focus control to auto focus for fine focus adjustment.
-
Set [Shooting] > [Focus] > [AF Assist] to [On] in the camera menu.
-
Set [Shooting] > [Focus] > [AF Assist Control] to [On] in the web menu.
-
Slide the [Auto Focus] switch to the right position in the camera control panel to turn it on.
Auto focus mode is activated.
-
Set the focus target using the [Focus] slider in the camera control panel.
[Near]: Focus on a near subject.
[Far]: Focus on a far subject.
In the AF assist state, a subject at the distance set with the [Focus] slider will be focused automatically.
Note
- In the AF assist state, shifting the focus becomes difficult, regardless of the [Shooting] > [Focus] > [AF Subj. Shift Sens.] setting in the camera menu.
- The AF assist state is canceled by the following.
- When the subject focused using the [Focus] slider is no longer visible
- When switching to manual focus
- When realtime tracking AF is started
Hint
- The AF assist state can be canceled quickly by using an assignable button assigned with [Push AF/MF].
- Realtime tracking AF stops when the [Focus] slider is operated.
- In Face/Eye Only AF mode, auto focus focuses on the face closest to the focus position of the [Focus] slider.
