Adjusting the Focus
The camera offers the following ways to focus.
Manual focus: Turn the focus ring on the lens to adjust the focus. The lens's focus mode switch can
be set to MF or AF*.
One-shot AF**: When the lens’s focus mode switch set to AF, you can press an assignable button set to
[One-Shot AF] to let the camera focus automatically.
* Depending on the lens, the focus ring may be disabled when the focus mode switch is set to AF.
** Not available when a manual focus lens is attached to the camera.
Manual Focus
Focus manually using the focus ring on the lens.
1 Set the focus mode switch on the lens to MF.
• When using the optional RC-V100 Remote Controller to
adjust the focus, set the focus mode switch to AF instead.
2 Turn the lens's focus ring to adjust the focus.
NOTES
• With some EF lenses, you may be able to operate the focus
ring even when the focus mode switch is set to AF.
• If you operate the zoom after focusing, the focus on the
subject may be lost.
• When adjusting the focus, be careful not to touch the front of
the lens or moving parts on the lens except for the focus ring.
• When an optional RC-V100 Remote Controller is connected to
the camera, you can adjust the focus with the remote controller’s FOCUS dial. At default settings,
turn the dial right to focus farther and left to focus nearer. Refer to the instruction manual of the
RC-V100 for details on changing that setting.
One-Shot AF
With one-shot AF, the camera will be able to focus automatically while you press and hold down a
single button.
1 Set the focus mode switch on the lens to AF.
