Sony ILCA-99M2 - Manual (Page 73)

Set the AF range to fall inside or outside while watching the yellow indicator displayed in the focus
area.
Note
[AF Range Control] cannot be used in Manual focus mode or when shooting movies.
If you change the lens, the set AF range will be reset.
When you are using a lens equipped with a focus range limit function, do not use the camera’s [AF
Range Control] function at the same time. Use the function on either the lens or the camera.
If you use a lens that is not equipped with a distance encoder, the shooting distance is not displayed.
The shooting distance value is an estimate.
The set value of the AF range, the shooting distance value, and the actual focus point may differ
slightly.
The actual set AF range and the yellow guide of the focus area may not correspond.
The focus area may not be displayed in yellow when the lens does not attain proper focus.
When the light is not strong enough or there is not much contrast in the subject, such as with
monotone and flat surfaces, the focus area may not be displayed in yellow. In that case, use the
outline of the subject as a guide.
Only lenses with in-lens motors (SSM and SAM lenses*) can be used with Direct Manual Focus.
When using lenses without in-lens motors (other than SSM and SAM lenses*), the product may start
the initial operation for infinity when used with the AF/MF control function.
