Focus adjustment is performed roughly with
about half the work in focus ring operation,
compared to the manual focus mode.
•
After adjustment with the focus ring, focus adjusts
automatically (fine adjustment).
•
When focus is off a great deal, it may not be set.
•
After making an automatic adjustment, the next
automatic adjustment is not performed until the
focus ring is moved.

Because auto focus sometimes does not operate
correctly when there is flickering, select a shutter
speed appropriate to the lighting. (Page 34)

When using auto focus mode with any format
other than 60i and 60P, the time for the focus
control will be slightly longer than for the normal
focus mode.
•
When [ON] is selected in the [AF] item on the
setup menu [AUTO SW] screen, auto focus is on
during auto mode regardless of the position of
the <FOCUS> switch. (Page 84)

During macro shooting, the screen display of [AF],
