This camera has autofocus and manual focus control. The focus mode is selected separately in the
Digital Subject Program, movie, and P, A, S, and M exposure-mode menus. When using Digital
Subject Programs, the focus mode is reset when the camera is turned off.
Focus modes
When using the shutter-priority, aperture-priority, or
manual exposure modes (p. 36 - 38) with manual focus,
press the central button of the controller to switch
between using the up/down keys to focus or to adjust
the exposure. The active function is indicated in blue.
When focusing manually, a scale shows the approximate subject dis-
tance. The scale changes depending on the focusing range.
Use the up/down controller keys to focus; the monitor image is auto-
matically magnified by a maximum of 2.5X depending on the digital
zoom setting. The live image returns to normal after two seconds,
when zooming, or when the shutter-release button is pressed partway
down.
With the P, A, S, or M exposure modes or movie recording, the auto-
focus mode can be specified between single-shot AF and continuous
AF in section 2 of the menu (p. 44). Single-shot AF, indicated by S on
the monitor, allows the focus to be locked before recording the image,
see the basic recording section. Continuous AF, indicated by C, con-
tinually focuses the camera. When capturing still images, the camera
continues to focus when the shutter-release button is held partway
down. In movie recording, focus is locked when the shutter-release
button is partway down, but it is continually adjusted during record-
ing.
