10.2.3 Manual Focus Override
The Sinar Hy6 system is equipped with a Manual Focus Override-function, which means
that manual focusing is also possible when an automatic focus mode has been set.
To use the Manual Focus Override function, turn the focusing ring 1, and press the
button AF-Lock B9 before activating the shutter. When the button AF-Lock B9 is not
pressed, the focus values will be automatically adapted by the system.
10.3 AF-Lock
The button AF-Lock B10 assumes two different functions depending on whether an Auto
Focus Mode or Manual Focus has been selected:
When an Auto Focus Mode is selected, the currently active focus values are saved, and
the automatic focus adaptation by pressing the shutter release button is locked. When the
Release Button B1 is pressed simultaneously with the button AF-Lock B10, these saved
focus values are applied to the image.
When Manual Focus is selected, pressing the button AF-Lock B10 activates the Auto
Focus.
10.4 Focus Indication in the Viewfinder Display
The focus of the image can be checked in the viewfinder display. The image is focused
correctly when both of the focus indication triangles are visible in the viewfinder display.

The meaning of the focus indication settings is explained in the following table.
Display Focus Setting
The focus is too close, i.e. the focal plane is in front of the measured object.
The focus is too far, i.e. the focal plane is behind the measured object.
The measured object is focussed correctly.
When working with a non-AF-lens, press the button AF-Lock B10 to update the focus
indication in the viewfinder display before checking the image focus.
