Selecting Manual Focus with the Camera
If the lens supports M/A (autofocus with manual override), manual
focus can also be selected by setting the camera focus mode to MF

regardless of the mode selected with the lens.

To determine the distance between your subject and the camera,

The Exposure Indicator as Rangefinder
If desired, the exposure indicator can be used to determine whether the focus point for
manual focus is in front of or behind the subject (
