Saving and Recalling Focus Positions
You can save the current focus position by pressing and holding a
custom control to which you have assigned [Save focus position]. The
saved focus position can be instantly restored by pressing a custom
control assigned [Recall focus position] (“memory recall”). You may
find this useful if you frequently return to subjects at a fixed focus
distance.
•
[Recall focus position] can be assigned to multiple controls. Focus
positions saved by selecting [Save to all] for [Save focus position]
can be recalled using any of the assigned controls. Those saved by
selecting [Save individually] for [Save focus position] can instead be
recalled only via a specific control.
•
Focus positions can be saved in any focus mode.
•
The stored distance is however reset when the lens is detached.

Cautions: Saving and Recalling Focus Positions
•
Focus positions cannot be saved while shooting information is displayed.
•
The focus position selected when a stored value is recalled may differ from
the saved position due to changes in ambient temperature.
•
Changes to zoom after a focus position is saved tend to alter the position
selected when the value is recalled.
