MODE
Select one (1) of the following from the
Mode
drop-down menu:
Manual
: When selected, all focus operations are manual.
Confirm
: Enables the Center or Spot focus target. This mode provides additional focus assistance by using red,
yellow, and green color changes to the focus spot window. Inadequate subject illumination and/or contrast may
interfere using Confirm mode. For best results with Confirm mode, “rock” the focus ring: Focus through the point
of optimal focusing and back again in decreasing amplitude, as when “zeroing-in” for precision manual focus.
AUTOFOCUS MODES
When a supported lens is attached, the following options display in the Mode drop-down menu:
Single
: When you press the key mapped to AF: Start, the camera performs single-shot AF. Optimized for rapid
focus even under low-contrast conditions. Works with both Center and Spot zones.
Continuous
: When you press the key mapped to AF: Start, the camera attempts to keep objects in the target in
focus. Works best with good lighting and contrast. Works with both Center and Spot zones.
Touch Track
: Dynamically updates a positionable AF point using the touchscreen. Only works with Spot zone.
Keep target on subject while moving across frame, as the lens continuously focuses on that target.
Rack
: Enables rack focus. Only works with Spot zone. For more information, go to
In Single, Continuous, and Touch Track modes, a single target displays on the screen that indicates where the image
will be in focus. In Rack mode, multiple targets display on the screen to indicate the different areas between which the
camera will rack focus.
Press the key mapped to AF Mode: Cycle to cycle through the Focus Mode options in order.
