Illustration of adjusting focus manually

Manual focusing is useful for the following types of subjects.

  • Subjects on the far side of a window covered in water droplets
  • Subjects with low contrast against the background
  • Subjects further away than nearby subjects
  • When focus is lost due to a large change in the ambient temperature (changes due to the temperature characteristics of the lens)

Hint

  • You can also use auto focus in the following cases when manual adjustment is the main method of operation.

    • When the AF subject shift sensitivity is set to [1(Locked On)]
    • When the FOCUS switch is set to the AF position
    • When operating the focus ring ([AF Assist])
