
ON (with the button checked)
Automatically corrects the difference
between the focus position of
objectives.


Set the same focus position as the one for the
previous objective at a position where no
objectives are attached. Otherwise, no parfocal
correction takes place when the address is
switched from the position without objective to
the position with objective. In addition, no
parfocal correction takes place when the
address is switched from the position with
objective to the position without objective.
