Adjusting the Focus Focus Limit: Setting the Distance Range for Autofocus You can set a "focus limit" range for the attached lens, which will cause the camera to try to autofocus (with one-shot AF) on subjects only within that range, thereby possibly reducing autofocusing time. You can set the far end and near end of the range, as necessary, by selecting a desired focus position. 1 Set the focus mode switch on the lens to AF. • On a compatible CINE-SERVO lens (A 71), set the focus 44 operation change-over knob to SERVO. 2 Open the [Activate] submenu to activate the focus limit. [Camera Setup] > [Focus Limit] > [Activate] 3 Select [On] and then press SET.

NOTES • If the limits for the near end and far end conflict, the one most recently set will take precedence and the other will be cleared. For example, if you set a limit for the far end and then you set one for the near end that is further, the limit for the far end will be cleared. • When you activate one-shot AF after setting a focus limit, if no subject can be focused on within the range, the focus will return close to the position where it was prior to activating one-shot AF. • If you operate the zoom after setting a focus limit, the position of the focus limit will change. Set the focus limit again.
