The Direct manual focus function on the lens
When the lens is equipped with the Direct manual focus function and the

adjust the focus with the focusing ring after focus is lock (For example, the

You can switch between auto focus and manual focus without changing the
camera composition (AF/MF control).
• You can maintain the selected mode without pressing and holding the AF/
MF button when [AF/MF button] is set in the Custom menu
(page 176).
