FOCUSING (AUTOFOCUS) and using the full-time manual function
In case of Sony cameras, switch the focusing mode switch of the camera to Auto focusing
mode (AF). In case of Canon or Nikon camera, switch the AF/MF switch (13) on the lens
to AF (Fig. 3). In case of Nikon camera with the focus mode selector dial, set the focus
mode to S or C, and then set the AF/MF switch on the lens side (13) to AF. Press the
shutter button lightly while viewing through the camera’s viewfinder, the lens focuses
automatically. An in-focus mark will light when lens focuses on the main subject sharply.
Press the shutter button further to photograph.
Using the full-time manual function?
A005 is equipped with the full-time manual function.
The full-time manual function is a function that the focus can be fine-tuned by the
manual focus without the AF/MF changing switch when taking a picture with autofocus.
How to use the full-time manual function
First, set the focus mode to AF. You can adjust focus manually while turning the
focusing ring with the shutter button pressed lightly.
* When set on AF mode, interfering with the focusing ring may cause serious damage to
the lens mechanism.
* The distance scale is marked for guidance purposes. The actual focal point may slightly
differ from the distance marked on the focal length index.
*For further details, please read the instruction manual of your camera.
FOCUSING (MANUAL FOCUS) (Ref. Fig. 1, 2 & 4)
In case of Sony cameras, switch the focusing mode switch of the camera to manual
focusing mode (MF). In case of a Nikon or Canon camera, switch the AF/MF switch (13)
on the lens to MF (Fig. 4). In case of Nikon camera with the focus mode selector dial, set
the focus mode to M and then set the AF/MF switch on the lens side (13) to MF. Focus
manually by rotating the focusing ring (9) while viewing through the camera’s viewfinder.
The main subject in the viewfinder will be sharp when the lens is focused correctly.
* Even when in MF mode, turning the focusing ring while pressing the shutter button
halfway, the focus aid function lamp lights up when the picture is in focus.
* At infinity, make sure the image in the viewfinder appears sharp. The infinity position
is made with certain allowances to insure proper focus under a variety of conditions.
