TRUE FOCUS AND CAMERA HANDLING
To obtain the maximum benefit from True Focus work within the
requirements of the system. This might need a little practice but
it will improve the accuracy of the measurements and thereby
provide better results.
1 Remain as still as possible when making the first True Focus
measurement and wait for the audio signal or ready light to
show green again before continuing. This will not only speed
up the process but also increase accuracy.
2 When recomposing the shot stay in the same position as
closely as possible. That is, try to avoid moving your head
or body forwards or backwards as this will move the camera
away from the measured position.
In the upper example to the right, the photographer has swung
the camera from the first measurement to recompose the shot
as normal. But as you can see that the camera has now moved
away from the original position.
The lower example illustrates essentially the same situation
except this time the camera is rotated around its central axis,
rather than swung. Practice shows that this method retains the
original position more accurately and therefore results in better
focusing accuracy.
FOCUS CHECKING
An effective way of checking the focus of individual captures is
to assign for example Mirror Up or Stop Down button to Focus
Confirm.
In browse mode or after a capture you can either double tap
on the Sensor Unit Display to zoom in to 100% or spread two
fingers apart to zoom in. To zoom out you can double tap again
or pinch two fingers together.
