The manual focus cannot be selected in the Easy Recording mode. Even if you set the focus mode switch to M, the autofocus (Instant AF) will still be activated. The focal distance to the subject will be displayed for approx. 3 seconds when you switch from E autofocus to manual focus or when you operate the focus ring in the manual focus mode. It will also be displayed with the focus preset. With the customized functions ( 83) you can change the units for the distance display (meter or feet) and with the custom display ( 90) you can select when to display this information (always, never, or only upon the operation of the focus ring). Use the distance display as an estimate. : Infinity focus -: Over infinity focus Using the Focus Assist Functions (Peaking and Magnifying) In order to make manual focusing easier, you can use two assist functions: Peaking emphasizes the outlines of the subject creating a clearer contrast, and Magnifying enlarges the image on the screen. You can also combine both for a greater effect. With the customized functions ( 83) you can set the display to change automatically to black & white while using the focus assist functions. Peaking While recording or in record pause, press the PEAKING button. • The outlines of the subject will be emphasized. • Press the button again to cancel the function. Magnifying In record pause, press the MAGN. button. • The central part of the screen will be magnified approximately 2x. • Press the button again to cancel the function. The Peaking and Magnifying functions will not affect your recordings. However, the magnified picture will be output as is to the HD/SD SDI terminal ( only) and the HDV/DV terminal. The Magnifying function will be canceled as you start recording. You can use the custom keys ( 70) to prevent the accidental operation of the MAGN. button. With the customized functions ( 83) you can also change the operation of the MAGN. button (normal or long press).
