Shooting in Manual Focus Mode

*

(Fireworks) mode cannot be set.

The focus can be manually set.

1

Press the MF button.

z

The focus will lock and the

icon and the

MF indicator will appear on the LCD monitor.

z

When the [

(Rec.)] menu's [MF-Point

Zoom] is set to [On], if a particular AF frame
has been manually selected, the portion of the
image in that frame will appear magnified*.

* However, when using

(Stitch Assist),

(Movie), digital zoom or while

displaying the image on a TV, the display magnification is not available.

* Can also be set so that the image displayed is not magnified (p. 27).

2

Turn the multi control dial to adjust the focus of the
camera.

z

Adjust the focus until the image appears focused. After setting the focus,
pressing the

button causes the camera to automatically refocus more

precisely at a point near the current focusing point.

z

The MF indicator shows approximate figures. Use them as a shooting
guideline only.

z

Pressing the MF button a second time cancels the manual focus mode.

‹

The AF lock is convenient because you can let go of the shutter button
to compose the image. In addition, since the focus stays locked to the
same position even after the shot is taken, you can immediately shoot
the next image with the same focus position.

‹

Because

(Stitch Assist) and

(Movie) do not display the AF

frame, aim the camera to focus on the subject.

‹

In

mode, AF lock can be set or canceled even during movie

recording (p. 41).

‹

If

is registered as the shortcut key, AF Lock can be performed

without pressing the MF button (except for

).
