Focusing ring Notes • When the Wide AF area is used, the center area is used for focusing; when the Zone AF area is used, an object representing the selected area is used; and when the Local AF area is used, an area that is selected with the multi-selector is used. • When using a tele converter (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 17). • Make sure to set the focus mode switch on the lens to MF for manual focus. Do not rotate the focusing ring without setting to MF. Rotating the focusing ring forcibly without switching to MF may damage the focusing ring (Except for lenses that are equipped with the Direct manual focus function.).

This is convenient to finely focus on a subject in macro shooting or portrait shooting. You can set the peaking level and the peaking color. MENU button t 3 t [Peaking Level] t Select the desired setting Notes • Since the camera judges that sharp areas are in focus, the peaking level is different, depending on the subject, shooting situation, or on the lens used. 102
