Notes on auto focus
• When an auto focus lens is mounted, in the auto focus
mode a frame appears in the center of the viewfinder
screen indicating the auto focus area. Place the subject
on which you want to focus within this frame.
• In the following cases, it may be difficult to focus on the
subject. If this does happen, use manual focusing.
- If the subject has no contrast
- If the subject is moving rapidly
- When shooting point light sources, under street
lighting or at night
- When there are very bright objects close to the subject
- When shooting through a glass window
• On the LENS page of the MAINTENANCE menu, by
changing the AF DETECT AREA setting from
“CENTER” to “FULL”, instead of focusing only on the
center portion of the screen, the whole screen image is
used for focusing. In this case, the auto focus area frame
does not appear.
• If there are a number of objects within the screen at close
and far range, the focus may not be on the intended
subject. In this case, with the subject on which you want
to focus in the center of the screen, press the PUSH AF
button.
• After focusing with the PUSH AF button, if you operate
the zoom or adjust the iris, the depth of field may
become shallower, losing crisp focus. In such cases,
press the PUSH AF button once more.
• If you focus at wide-angle then zoom to telephoto, the
subject may no longer be in focus.
• The auto focus function does not operate while using the
slow shutter mode (4F or higher).
Note on zoom speed
Depending on the shooting distance, the zoom speed may
fall as the lens approaches the telephoto end.
