Manual Focus
In P, S, A, and M modes, manual focus can be used in place of autofocus for
situations in which you are unable to achieve the desired results using
autofocus.

display appears in the monitor.

your subject is in focus.
Notes on Manual Focus
• When using the self-timer, be sure that the self-timer is selected ( 58)
before selecting a focus distance. Changing the focus mode after setting
the focus distance will cancel manual focus.
• Use autofocus ( 59) when an optional converter lens is attached ( 106).
In manual focus mode, the actual focus distance will differ from that shown
in the monitor.
• When manual focus is set to the end of the manual focus indicator, the
camera may be unable to focus at some zoom positions. If the camera is
unable to focus at the current zoom position, the manual focus display in
the monitor will turn red. Zoom the camera in or out until the manual focus
display no longer appears in red.
• If you adjust zoom after focusing, you will need to focus again at the new
zoom position.
