The 

Period

 function is used to set the Auto Focus period, i.e. the interval between two auto focus cycles. 

The time currently set between two auto focus cycles is shown in the 

Period

 field. 

 

To change the period, press the 

Period

 button. 

 

Select or redefine period (Fig. 12). 

The period can be selected using pre-defined periods (continuous, 1 s, 2 s, 5, s etc.) or can be redefined 
using the numeric pad (entries are made in seconds).  

 

A period of 0 s also constitutes the 

Continuous

 mode of Auto Focus. 

 

 

Entries are confirmed by pressing 

OK

, or cancelled by pressing 

Cancel

 

 

It is also possible to reset the period during the On phase of the Auto Focus (see section 4.4, 
page 28).
