RED EPIC OPERATION GUIDE

955-0002_v4.0, Rev-A | 83

Performance of Auto Focus may be reduced under the following conditions:

The subject is dark or distant.

There is inadequate contrast between the subject and background.

The scene has reflective highlights.

The subject is backlit.

There is inadequate surface contrast/detail inside the window.

NOTE: Edge Mode can be used for additional assistance in these conditions. Refer to SETTINGS MENU >

DISPLAY > TOOLS > EDGE.

MANUAL

When selected, all focus operations are manual.

CONFIRM

Enables the Center or Spot focus target square. This mode provides additional focus assistance to the

photographer using RED, YELLOW, and GREEN color changes to the focus spot window. Inadequate subject

illumination and/or contrast may interfere with normal Focus Confirm operation.

For best results with Focus Confirm, operators should 'rock' the focus ring -- focusing through the point of

optimum focusing and back again in decreasing amplitude -- as when 'zeroing-in' for precision manual

focus.

SINGLE

A Focus / Record Button half-press performs single-shot AF. Optimized for rapid focus even under low-

contrast conditions. Works with both Center and Spot Zones.

CONTINUOUS

Once engaged with half-press, will attempt to keep objects in AF window in focus. Works best with good

lighting and contrast. Works with both Center and Spot Zones.
