Manual focus
•
The digits displayed for the gauge on the right of the screen in step 1 serve as a guideline
for the distance to a subject that is in focus when the gauge is near the center.
•
The closest distance at which the camera can focus varies depending on the zoom
position. At the maximum telephoto zoom position, the camera can focus on subjects as
close as approximately 5.0 m (16 ft 5 in.) from the lens. When the zoom ratio is set to a
position where at the bottom right of the screen is green, the camera can focus on
subjects as close as approximately 10 cm (4 in.) from the lens. When the zoom is at a
position where the focal length (in 35mm [135] format) is equivalent to 30 mm, the
camera can focus on subjects as close as approximately 1 cm (0.4 in.) from the lens.
•
The actual range at which the subject can be in focus varies depending on the f
‑
number
and zoom position. To see whether the subject is in focus, check the image after
shooting.
Peaking
•
The range of the contrast level considered to be in focus can be changed by adjusting
the peaking level. It is effective to set the level low for high contrast subjects, and high for
low contrast subjects.
•
Peaking highlights high contrast areas of the image in white. Under some shooting
conditions, highlighting may not work properly or areas that are not in focus may be
highlighted.
•
You can disable the peaking display using the setup menu [
Peaking
].
•
If the setup menu [
HDMI
] [
Clean HDMI output
] [
On
] is selected, the peaking
display is disabled when the camera is connected to an HDMI-compatible device.
