∫ 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. [e.g. [PANNING] (P77)
in scene mode]
This function is suitable when the distance
between the camera and the subject is
certain.
∫ Changing the zoom area
The magnified area can be changed while
the screen is expanded using MF Assist.
This is convenient when you want to
change the focus position to take pictures.
1 Rotate the Focus ring.
2 Press
3/4/2/1 to change the
expanded area.
• The expansion is cancelled after
approximately 2 seconds.
• The following will return the AF area to the
original position.
– Changing the Focus switch to [AF] or
[AF MACRO].
– Changing the picture size or aspect.
– Turning the camera off.
• You can also record with manual focus in
motion picture mode [ ]. However the
screen is not expanded while recording
the motion picture.
• 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 (P87).
• If you rotate the focus ring or zoom
ring while recording motion pictures,
recording pictures with audio or
adding audio to recorded pictures, a
grinding noise may be recorded.
• After cancelling the power save mode,
focus on the subject again.
