Changing the Focus Target Manually
When [Shooting] – [Focus] – [AF Assist] is set to [On] in the full menu, you can still use the focus ring during auto focus to adjust the focus on a subject.
When you stop using focus ring operation, auto focus continues to focus on the subject focused using the focus ring (AF assist state).
After operating the focus ring, moving the focus to another subject is slightly more difficult, regardless of the [Shooting] – [Focus] – [AF Subj. Shift Sens.] setting in the full menu.
The AF assist state is canceled by the following.
- When the subject focused using the focus ring 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 the FOCUS PUSH AUTO button or an assignable button assigned with [Push AF/Push MF].
- Realtime tracking AF stops when the focus ring is operated.
- In human only detection AF mode, auto focus focuses on the face closest to the focus position of the focus ring.
