MF Assist is enlarged from 5 times to 10 times when the rear dial is rotated right. It will

Move the MF Assist easily with button operations
When the [DIRECT FOCUS AREA] (P138) in the [CUSTOM] menu is set to [ON], it is
possible to move the MF Assist directly with 3/4/2/1.
[SENSITIVITY] (P89), [Fn BUTTON SET] (P136), [FILM MODE] (P91), or [WHITE BALANCE]
(P86) cannot be set with 3/4/2/1. Make the setting with the Quick Menu (P33).
Technique for Manual Focus

subject.
2 Rotate it a little more.
3 Finely focus on the subject by rotating the
focus ring slowly in reverse.
About the focus distance reference mark
The focus distance reference mark is a mark
used to measure the focus distance.
Use this when taking pictures with Manual
Focus or taking close-up pictures.
A Focus distance reference mark
B Focus distance reference line
C 0.3 m (0.99 feet) (When the
14–42 mm/
F3.5–5.6
lens included in DMC-G2K is used)
If you are taking close-up pictures
We recommend using a tripod and the self-timer (P77).
The effective focus range (depth of field) is significantly narrowed. Therefore, if the distance
between the camera and the subject is changed after focusing on the subject, it may become
difficult to focus on it again.
The resolution of the periphery of the picture may decrease slightly. This is not a malfunction.
Note
When the MF Assist is started by the touch panel operation or button operation, MF Assist will
continue to display even after about 10 seconds have passed without operating the focus ring,
touch panel, or 3/4/2/1.
If you use the zoom function after focusing on the subject, focus on the subject again.
The MF Assist does not appear when using the Digital Zoom or recording motion pictures.
After canceling Sleep Mode, focus on the subject again.
MF Assist or MF guide may not display depending on the lens used.
