Full-time AF

Full-time AF continually focuses the camera when using spot AF areas and the FFP so the monitor

image is always sharp. This also reduces the autofocusing time when taking pictures. Full time AF is

set in section 2 of the recording menu. The full-time AF can be turned off to conserve power.

Direct manual focus

Direct manual focus allows manual adjustments to be made after the AF system has locked onto the

subject. Direct manual focus is activated in section 2 of the recording menu (p. 84). Direct manual

focus is canceled when continuous AF or manual focus (p. 44) is in use.

As described in the basic recording operation section (p.

30), press the shutter-release button partway down to

lock the focus (1); the focus signal will turn white. “DMF”

will be displayed next to the drive-mode indicator.

While holding the shutter-release button partway down,

the camera can be manually focused with the focusing

ring (2); the Flex Digital Magnifier (p. 45) activates and an

area indicated by the AF sensor is enlarged. Always use

the monitor image to confirm focus. The approximate

focusing distance is displayed in the lower right corner

next to the frame counter. The Flex Digital Magnifier is

canceled when the shutter button is released or the

camera is not focused for several seconds.
