Adjusting the focus Manual focus When it is difficult to get the proper focus in autofocus mode, you can adjust the focus manually. 1 Set the focus mode switch on the lens to MF. 2 If the lens is not equipped with a focus mode switch, set the focus mode switch on the camera to MF. 3 Rotate the focusing ring of the lens to achieve sharp focus. Focusing ring Notes • When the Wide AF area is used, the center area is used for focusing; when the Zone AF area is used, a typical area of the selected zone is used; and when the Local AF area is used, an area that is selected using the control button is used. • When using a teleconverter (sold separately), etc., rotation of the focusing ring may not be smooth. • The correct focus in the viewfinder is not achieved if the diopter is not adjusted properly in viewfinder mode (page 29). • Make sure to set the focus mode switch on the lens to MF for manual focus. Rotating the focusing ring forcibly without switching to MF may damage it. 114
