n MF assistance
Move the joystick e/r while [MF ASSIST]
is set to [MF1] or [MF2] to enlarge the
picture to help focusing. (P23)
• [MF1]: The centre area of the picture is
enlarged. You can focus while
considering the overall composition
of the picture.
• [MF2]: The whole picture is enlarged. You
can easily focus when you are not
sure of the focus at Wide.
• You can set the MF assistant to [OFF] in
the [SETUP] menu (in the recording
mode). (P23)
n Technique for Manual focus
1 Move the joystick e/r.
2 Even if the subject is focused, move it a
little more.
3 Return to the centre to make fine
adjustments.
n Prefocus
This is a technique to focus on the point to
take pictures in advance when it is difficult
to focus on the subject with auto focus due
to its quick motion.
This function is suitable when the distance
between the camera and the subject is
certain.
• You can also record with manual focus in
motion picture mode [i]. When starting
the recording, the focus is fixed.
• When you focus on the subject in Wide,
the focus may not be adequate in Tele. In
this case, focus on the subject again.
• When setting the manual focus, you
cannot set the continuous AF (P76).
• The MF assistance does not appear in
digital zoom range.
• The distance shown shows roughly how
far away the point of focus is.
• Use the MF assistant to make final
adjustments to the focus.
• The AF lock is released when you select
manual focus.
