5.5 FOCUSING
AUTOFOCUS
Autofocus is activated by pressing the shutter release to the
half-press position. Focus is determined by maximizing the
contrast within the central marked area.
In AF mode, the shutter release will be blocked until the
camerandstheoptimumfocussetting.Thisensuresthatno
capturesaremadethatarenotnelyfocused.
The lens will focus at one distance and will remain focused at
that distance while pressure remains on the shutter release
button
(A) .
In this way, you can focus on a object, temporarily positioned
within the focusing zone on the viewing screen and then
without releasing pressure on the shutter release button,
recompose knowing that the focus remains on the object
chosen even though it is now outside the focusing zone.
Releasing the pressure on the shutter release button and
pressing again (half-press) would now change the focus
setting to the distance of the object within the focusing zone.
Depending on situation, the indicated AF area looks different.
See page 63.
Note!
For objects close to the camera and/or with wide-angle lenses
it is better to move the AF point as described on page 66.
Note!
You can select position of the AF point. See page 66.
It is also possible to choose from three different sizes. See
page 92.
