Focusing, zooming, and depth of field
Before focusing, rotate
the zoom ring 4 to
adjust the focal length
until the desired
composition is framed in
the viewfinder.
If your camera has a
depth of field preview (stop-down) button or lever,
depth of field can be previewed through the camera
viewfinder.
Focusing (Fig. A)
Autofocus mode
Set the camera focus mode to AF-A, AF-S or AF-C and
set the A-M mode switch 9 on the lens to [A]. The
camera focuses automatically (autofocus) while the
shutter-release button is pressed halfway.
Manual focus mode
Set the A-M mode switch 9 on the lens to [M]. Rotate
the focus ring 3 manually to focus. Shooting is
possible when camera focus mode is set to either AF or
M.
For more information on camera focus modes, refer to
your camera’s User’s Manual.
Getting good results with autofocus
Refer to “Notes on using wide or super-wide angle AF
