  • [Focus map]

    When shooting video, the map visually displays which parts are in focus and which parts are out of focus. Areas behind the in-focus area (rear bokeh) are displayed in a cool color (A), and areas in front of the in-focus area (front bokeh) are displayed in a warm color (B). The in-focus area is indicated by a dotted display. The dotted display is not recorded in the actual video.

    (Settings): You can customize the transparency in the range 0% to 100%.

    When using this function, each color corresponds to a distance and is displayed next to the focus bar as a means of notifying you of the distance to the position of the subject displayed on the screen.

    This function cannot be used in the following cases. In these cases, a (Caution mark) will be displayed on the screen.

    • When displaying and controlling playback of camera clips on the screen
    • When using a frame rate of 150 fps or higher
    • When using a frame rate of 6 fps or lower (ILME-FX6 only)
    • When a lens is not attached
    • When a lens that does not support phase detection auto focus is attached
    • When a mount adaptor is attached
