Focus Magnifier
You can check the focus by enlarging the image before shooting.
Unlike with [Auto Magnifier in MF], you can magnify the image without operating the focus ring.
To use the focus magnifier function by touch operation
You can magnify the image and adjust the focus by touching the monitor. Set [Touch Operation] to [On] beforehand.
Then, select the appropriate settings under [Touch Panel/Pad]. 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 multi-selector.
Hint
While using the focus magnifier function, you can move the magnified area by dragging it on the touch panel.
To exit the focus magnifier function, double-tap the monitor again. When [AF in Focus Mag.] is set to [Off], the focus magnifier
function is ended by pressing the shutter button halfway down.
