Background Defocus
You can change the level of defocus in the background simply by pressing a key while shooting still images or movies.
Hint
In the default settings, [Background Defocus] is assigned to the C1 button.
The aperture value becomes locked and the icon (Defocus) or (Clear) is indicated instead of the aperture value in
the [Background Defocus] mode. The aperture value is locked at wide open when (Defocus) is indicated. The aperture
value is locked at F5.6 when (Clear) is indicated.
Note
[Background Defocus] is not available in the following shooting modes:
[Sweep Panorama]
[Scene Selection]
The [Background Defocus] mode is canceled, the camera returns to the ordinary mode, and the aperture returns to the former
value when you perform the following operations:
Turning the power off and back on again
Pressing the MODE button
Pressing the MENU button
Changing the aperture value using the control wheel while the shooting mode is set to [Aperture Priority] or [Manual Exposure]
Program shift
Manual shift
Exposure compensation
Even if you press the key, you cannot change the level of defocus while using [Set Focus] or [Focus Magnifier] in the
[Background Defocus] mode.
Depending on the shooting mode and shooting conditions, the camera may be unable to obtain the optimal exposure due to the
locking of the aperture value in the [Background Defocus] mode.
