Perform focus adjustments using the focus ring. If auto focusing is difficult due to the conditions,
then use Manual Focus.
Switch to Manual Mode. (
l

)
1
Set the FOCUS A/M/
switch to [M] to enable Manual Focus.
It will switch to MF from AF.
2
Adjust the focus by rotating the focus ring.
The focus value can be set from MF00 (focus distance: approximately 10.0 cm (3.93
q
) [When
[FOCUS MACRO] (
l
94
,
154
) is set to [ON]]) to MF99 (focus distance: infinity). The larger the
focus value gets, the further the position where focus is achieved.
If you move the FOCUS A/M/
switch towards [
], focus will be adjusted to MF95 on the infinity
side. (The FOCUS A/M/
switch will return to the [M] position.)
To return to Auto Focus, set the FOCUS A/M/
switch to [A], or set [AF] to [ON] and switch to
Auto Mode. (
l
36
)
If you set [FOCUS MACRO] to [ON], when the distance to the subject approaches within 0.8 m
(2.6 feet) approx., the unit switches to the macro range and
or
. (The unit may switch to
the macro range even when the distance to the subject is 0.8 m (2.6 feet) or more depending on
the subject.).
Depending on the zoom magnification, this unit may fail to switch to the macro range, or go to a
non-displayed focus value.
When you perform a zoom operation in the macro range, this unit may go out of focus.
When [AF] is set to [ON] and this unit is set to Auto Mode, auto focusing is performed regardless
of the position of FOCUS A/M/
switch. (
l
36
)
When a remote control (commercially-available) is connected, even if you move the FOCUS A/M/
switch towards [
], focus cannot be adjusted to MF95. (
l
113
)
The unit of the focus value display differs depending on the [ZOOM/FOCUS] setting. The setting
can also be changed so that the display disappears from the screen. (
