To focus with manual focus
1.
On the monitor screen, compose the image so
the subject you want to focus on is within the
yellow boundary.
2.
Watching the image on the monitor screen use
[
4
] (nearer) and [
6
] (further) to adjust focus.
• At this time the image that is within the boundary
will enlarge and fill the monitor screen, which aids
in focusing. Pressing [SET] will return to the screen
in step 1.
• When the Key Customize “Function Ring” setting (page 113) is set to “MF”
(Manual Focus), you can use the function ring for focusing.
