Performance of Auto Focus may be reduced under the following conditions:
• The subject is dark or distant.
•
There is inadequate contrast between the subject and background.
•
The scene has reflective highlights.
•
The subject is backlit.
•
There is inadequate surface contrast/detail inside the window.
NOTE: Edge Mode can be used for additional assistance in these conditions. Refer to SETTINGS
MENU > DISPLAY > TOOLS > EDGE.
MANUAL
When selected all focus operations are manual.
CONFIRM
Enables the Center or Spot focus square for use with manual focus. This mode provides additional
focus assistance to the photographer using RED, YELLOW, and GREEN color changes to the focus spot
window. Inadequate subject illumination and/or contrast may interfere with normal Focus Confirm
operation.
For best results with Focus Confirm, operators should 'rock' the focus ring -- focusing through the point
of optimum focusing and back again in decreasing amplitude -- as when 'zeroing-in' for precision
manual focus.
SINGLE
A Focus / Record Button half-press performs single-shot AF. Optimized for rapid focus even under low-
contrast conditions. Works with both Center and Spot Zones.
