FOCUSING
Continuous Focus (C)
Set focus-mode switch
54
to “C“. Unlike in the
single-focus mode, the autofocus is here active
for as long as the shutter release is held at stage
1. The AF lens will then refocus as soon as the
object detail moves out of the focus area.
This function uses release priority so that
an exposure can be triggered at any desired
moment, regardless of focusing status. In all
other details, the mode is identical to Single
Focus.
Single Focus (S)
Set focus-mode switch
54
to “S“. Place the
cross-sensor symbol in the viewfinder over the
subject to be focused (see illustration) and
press shutter release
22
until a light resistance
is encountered (stage 1). Your AF lens will now
focus automatically. To repeat metering, let go
of the shutter release and press it again lightly.
Sharp focus has been detected when the two
arrows of the focus indicator appear simultane-
ously.
Metering is impossible if only
one
arrow appears
in the focus indicator.
In this case, place the
focus area over a well-textured detail of higher
contrast at the same distance and trigger your
exposure with the final framing. If necessary,
fine-tune manually.
This function uses focus priority. In other words,
exposure is possible only after focusing has
been accomplished.
Note
In low light, an integral IR (infrared) grid projec-
tor will aid the autofocus system.
