Focus Magnifier
You can check the focus by enlarging the image before shooting.
Unlike with [
MF Assist], you can magnify the image without operating the focus ring.
To use the focus magnifier function by touch operation
You can adjust the focus on the magnified image touching the monitor. Set [Touch Operation] to other than [Off]
beforehand. When the focus mode is [Manual Focus], you can perform [Focus Magnifier] by double-tapping the area to
focus on while shooting with the monitor. While shooting with the viewfinder, a frame is displayed in the center of the
monitor by double-tapping and you can move the frame by dragging it. The image is magnified by pressing the center of
the control wheel.
Hint
While using the focus magnifier function, you can move the magnified area by dragging it on the touch panel.
To end the focus magnifier function, double-tap again. When [ AF in Focus Mag.] is set to [Off], the focus magnifier function is
ended by pressing the shutter button halfway down.
