Standard:
After focus adjustment completion, set the switch to “OFF” position. Normally set to this
position.
Adjustment (during adjustment):
Used when adjusting the lens focus. Turning on this switch forcibly makes the depth of
field shallow, allowing finer focus adjustment. Set this switch to the OFF position after
lens adjustment completion.
Note
When the Focus adjustment switch is set to the "ON" position, the color of the screen
may change periodically if the camera is used under fluorescent lighting. Further, the
screen may flicker in areas where the electrical frequency is 50Hz.
Standard:
Normally set to this position. Backlight Compensation function does not operate when the
switch is set to this position.
Backlight Compensation(when backlit):
This position compensates images from being become too dark when it is backlit.
Controls image brightness depending on the brightness of the subject in the center of the
screen when set to the backlight compensation position.
1/60:
Normally set to this position.
1/100:
Annoying screen flicker may result under fluorescent lighting in areas where power
frequency is 50 Hz. In such cases, set the Flickerless switch to "ON" position to permit a
flicker-free picture to be viewed.
Note
If the Flickerless switch is set to "ON" position, sensitivity is reduced compared to
operation in the OFF position. When using the camera in dark conditions, or where light
flicker is not an annoyance, set the switch to "OFF" position.
