Press the shutter button halfway.
• The assist screen will close. The recording screen will be displayed.
• You can also close the assist screen by pressing [MENU/SET].
• If you have enlarged the picture by rotating the focus ring or moving the focus lever, the
assist screen will close approximately 10 seconds after the operation.
• MF Assist or MF guide may not display depending on the lens used, but you can display MF
Assist by direct operation of the camera, using the touch screen or a button.
• If you press a cursor button on the recording screen when [Direct Focus Area] in the [Custom]
menu is set to [ON], the screen that lets you set the area to be enlarged will be displayed.
• When using [Miniature Effect] in Creative Control Mode, you cannot enlarge the picture by
touching the screen.
• The MF Assist is disabled when using the Digital Zoom or recording motion pictures.
Technique for Manual Focus
1 Press the cursor button or rotate the focus
ring to focus.
2 Press the cursor button a few more times
or rotate the focus ring further in the same
direction.
3 Operate the cursor button or the focus
ring slightly in the opposite direction to
fine tune the focus.
•
If you zoom in/out after focusing on a subject, the focus may lose its accuracy. In that case,
re-adjust the focus.
• After cancelling Sleep Mode, focus on the subject again.
• If you are taking close-up pictures:
– We recommend using a tripod and the self-timer (P175).
– The effective focus range (depth of field) is significantly narrowed. Therefore, if the distance
between the camera and the subject is changed after focusing on the subject, it may become
difficult to focus on it again.
– The resolution of the periphery of the picture may decrease slightly. This is not a malfunction.
