Adjusting the focus
Notes
• When the Wide AF area is used, the center area is used for focusing; when the Zone
AF area is used, an object representing the selected area is used; and when the Local
AF area is used, an area that is selected with the multi-selector is used.
• When using a tele converter (sold separately), etc., rotation of the focusing ring may
not be smooth.
• The correct focus in the viewfinder is not achieved if the diopter is not adjusted
properly in viewfinder mode (page 17).
• Make sure to set the focus mode switch on the lens to MF for manual focus. Do not
rotate the focusing ring without setting to MF. Rotating the focusing ring forcibly
without switching to MF may damage the focusing ring (Except for lenses that are
equipped with the Direct manual focus function.).
You can enhance the outline of in-focus ranges with a specific color in
manual focus. This is convenient to finely focus on a subject in macro
shooting or portrait shooting.
You can set the peaking level and the peaking color.
MENU button t 3 t [Peaking Level] t Select the desired
setting
Notes
• Since the camera judges that sharp areas are in focus, the peaking level is different,
depending on the subject, shooting situation, or on the lens used.

(Focus Mode) t (Manual Focus)
• When [Focus Mode] is assigned to the silent multi-controller, you can use
the silent multi-controller instead (page 32).
