Preset Focus/Zoom

still image, movie, slow&quick motion

You can move the focus position (the distance to the subject in focus) and zoom position (angle of view) to preregistered positions using custom keys. You can register 5 focus position/zoom position combinations.

To register the focus position/zoom position

  1. MENU (Setup) → [Operation Customize][Custom Key/Dial Set.] or [Custom Key/Dial Set.] → Assign [Preset Focus/Zoom 1] - [Preset Focus/Zoom 5] to the desired key.
    • To use the [Preset Focus/Zoom] function, you need to assign the [Preset Focus/Zoom] function to a custom key.
  2. On the shooting screen, press and hold the key to which you have assigned [Preset Focus/Zoom].

    The focus position and zoom position at the time that the key was pressed and held will be registered to the assigned number.

    • If you register information again to a number to which content has already been registered, the content will be overwritten.


To recall the focus position/zoom position

Press the key to which you have assigned [Preset Focus/Zoom] on the shooting screen to recall the registered focus position and zoom position.


To check the registered settings

You can check the registered focus position and zoom position by selecting MENU (Focus) → [AF/MF][Preset Focus/Zoom] → desired number.

  • If you add a check mark to [Recalls only zoom position.] on the [Preset Focus/Zoom] screen, only the zoom position and not the focus position will be recalled when you recall the number.

Hint

  • You can also assign [Preset Focus] to [Function Ring(Lens)]. In this case, move and hold the function ring of the lens on the shooting screen to register the focus position and zoom position, and briefly flick it to recall them.
  • Only the settings for the focus position and zoom position to be registered to the function ring on the lens are registered to [Preset Focus/Zoom 6] under [Preset Focus/Zoom].

Note

  • You can register zoom positions only within the range of the optical zoom.
  • The focus position and zoom position cannot be recalled while the shutter button is pressed half way down.
  • To use the [Preset Focus/Zoom] function in the movie mode, set [AF Assist] to [On].
  • If a prime lens is attached, only the focus position will be registered.
  • If a zoom lens without power zoom is attached, the focus position/zoom positions can only be registered and recalled via remote operation using the computer software Remote Camera Tool. For details, refer to the following website.

  • The focus position and zoom position cannot be recalled if the attached lens is different from the lens that was attached when you registered them.
  • Even if the model name is the same, if you attach a different individual lens, register the focus position/zoom position again.
