FOCUSING

This camera offers two types of focusing: autofocus (AF), in which the camera

adjusts the focus automatically, and manual focus (MF) in which the user

adjusts the focus manually.

There are two AF modes: “SAF” (single AF) which is convenient for general

photography when photographing stationary subjects, and “CAF” (continuous

AF) which comes in handy for taking photographs of moving subjects. Use them

according to the subject and scene.

1. Selecting focus frames

AF supplementary If the subject is dark, or contrast is so low that it is dif-

ficult to focus, it is illuminated automatically with AF supplementary light to

increase the precision of autofocusing. The center of the viewfinder is illumi-

nated. The effective distance of AF supplementary light is approximately 4m.
