Focusing at a Preset Distance: Manual Focus
In CSM mode, manual focus can be used in place of autofocus for
situations in which you know the distance to the subject. Focus
distance can be selected from forty-nine preset distances, ranging
from 0.03 m (0.10 ft.) to infinity at widest angle, by pressing the zoom
buttons while holding down the 2 button.
1 Press T to increase the focus distance to maximum of infinity
(InF), W to decrease.
+
2 Focus distance is displayed in monitor.
The value displayed for manual focus-distance is the approximate distance from
the front of the lens. The actual focus distance may differ slightly from the value
shown; check focus in the monitor before shooting.
The focus distances available depend on the focus mode setting (p. 92). Note
that the focus distances of 0.03-0.3 m (0.10-1 ft.) are only available at ™
(macro close-up) and ™0 (macro close-up + self-timer)
at widest angle .
• Manual focus can be canceled by pressing the 2 button.
Tips on manual focus
• To use the self-timer in combination with manual focus, select a focus mode
of 0 (autofocus + self-timer) or ™0 (macro close-up + self-timer) before
choosing the focus distance.
• The flash can be used while manual focus is in effect. This makes it possible
to combine the flash with a focus setting of infinity.
• The units used for manual focus ban be selected from meters or feet using the
“Distance Units” sub-menu in the SETUP menu (p. 151).
