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 When the lens is not equipped with the focus mode switch, set the focus mode switch on the camera to MF. 3 Rotate the focusing ring of the lens to achieve a 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 area is used; and when the Local AF area is used, an area that is selected with the control button 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 29). • Make sure to set the focus mode switch 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. 116
