# Focusing (manual focus)

Switch the method of controlling the focus with the <FOCUS> switch.

<A>: Changes to the auto focus mode. Adjusts the focus automatically.

<M>: Changes to the manual focus mode. Control the focus ring manually to adjust the focus.

<>: Changes to the manual focus mode after the focus distance is set to infinity.

This switch is the spring switch. Even when the <FOCUS> switch is pushed towards the <> side, the switch returns to the <M> position.

NOTE

- Since the auto focus control may not operate properly if there is a flicker, select a shutter speed that is appropriate to the light.

- If you set the camera to auto focus mode at times other than 60i (50i) and 60P (50P), the time required for the focus control will be slightly longer than when in normal focus mode.

- When [ON] is selected in the main menu → [AUTO SW] → [AF] and the camera is in auto mode, auto focusing is performed regardless of the position of the <FOCUS> switch.

- Auto focus does not function when the frame rate is set to [9fps] or lower in variable frame rate, and when the shutter speed is set to less than 1/12.

## Auto high-speed focusing

Pressing the <PUSH AUTO> button performs the operation set in the main menu → [SW MODE] → [PUSH AF MODE].

[TURBO]: Performs high-speed focusing until the image is focused, once the button is pressed.

[NORMAL]: Performs automatic focusing while pressing the button.

## Manual focus assist mode

By setting [ON] in the main menu → [SW MODE] → [MF ASSIST], you can switch from manual focus mode to manual focus assist mode.

- Compared to manual focus mode, you can adjust the focus (course adjustment) by rotating the focus ring approximately a half-turn.

- After adjusting with the focus ring, the focus is automatically adjusted (fine adjustment).

- When the focus deviation is great, it may not be in focus.

- After executing auto adjustment, it will not adjust automatically until you move the focus ring again.
