Notes
• The AF sensitivity is not recorded when registering the home position.
The camera’s auto focus may not be able to focus on the subject in situations such as when
the subject is not in the center of the frame. If this happens, the easiest solution is to use
focus lock. Use this when composing the subject outside of the 11 AF targets or when the
subject is difficult to focus on.

Adjust the AF target with the subject to
be focused and press the shutter button
halfway until the AF confirmation mark

mark and the AF target in focus light up in the
viewfinder.
• If the AF confirmation mark blinks, press the
shutter button halfway again.
• While the shutter button is being pressed, the
