Hints on Using Manual Focus
You may want to use Manual Focus in the following three
cases:
!
In low light conditions when auto focus may have a difficult
time gaining the proper focus.
!
After auto focus, you want to lock the focus for speed and
repeatability for the next pictures you take.
!
For fine-tuning Macro focus.
Otherwise, you may want to limit your use of Manual Focus
because it is difficult to gain the exact focus position for the best
shots using this feature. You may find, instead, that using the
other focus settings will provide you with better or more
consistent results in the pictures you take.
When using
Manual Focus , here are some hints that may help:
!
To find the best focus position, adjust the focus so that the
image looks like it is in focus on the
Live View screen. From
this position, press the button until the image begins to
blur, then press the button until the image begins to
blur. Then set the focus position halfway between the
locations where the image began to blur.
!
To lock focus for a set of pictures, let the camera find the
best focus using the
Normal Focus setting, then switch to
Manual Focus . The focus will then be locked at that distance
until you adjust it manually or switch to another focus
setting.
