Background Defocus
You can change the level of defocus in the background simply by pressing the button while shooting still images or
movies.
Hint
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] mode is canceled, the camera returns to normal shooting 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 Still/Movie/S&Q 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]
Exposure Comp.
Performing Program Shift or Manual Shift
Even if you press the button, 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.

Once you press the button, the [Background Defocus] mode is activated, and the background becomes defocused.
Afterwards, the level of defocus in the background switches between "Defocus" and "Clear" each time you press
the button.
The camera returns to normal shooting mode and the aperture returns to the former value when you press the
Still/Movie/S&Q button.
