∫ MF Assist

If [MF ASSIST] (P56) in the [SETUP] menu is set to [ON], the displayed image is enlarged

as soon as focusing is performed.

• If you press [MENU/SET] while MF Assist is displayed, the MF area can be moved using

3/4/2/1. Pressing [MENU/SET] again returns the camera to MF Assist.

• The magnification of the enlarged area can be changed by pressing the setting wheel when MF

Assist is activated or the MF area is moving.

• Performing the following operation returns the MF area to the center.

– Changing the resolution or aspect.

– Turning the camera off.

1 Focus by sliding the zoom/focus rocker or

rotating the setting wheel.

2 Press the cursor button in the same

direction (nearer or farther) a few times.

3 Finely focus on the subject by pressing

the cursor button for the opposite

direction.

∫ Prefocus

This is a technique for focusing in advance on the distance the subject will be when using

Auto Focus is difficult due to the subject’s quick motion. (e.g. [PANNING] in Scene Mode)

This function is suitable when the distance between the camera and the subject is known

and remains the same.

∫ One shot AF

You can focus on the subject with Auto Focus by pressing [FOCUS] button

during Manual

Focus

This is convenient for prefocus.

Notes

• If you use the zoom function after focusing on the subject, focus on the subject again.

• The MF Assist is disabled in the Digital Zoom range or when recording motion pictures.

• The distance to the subject displayed on the screen in Manual Focus is an approximation of the

focus position. Use the MF Assist screen for a final check of the focus.

• After canceling Sleep Mode, focus on the subject again.

• Using MF Assist in combination with AE Lock makes it easy to check the focus.
