Sony DSLR-A900 User Manual

Notes
• In the case of a subject that can be focused in auto focus mode, the z indicator lights 

up in the viewfinder when the focus is confirmed. When the Wide AF area is 
selected, the center area is used, and when the Local AF area is selected, the area that 
is selected with the multi-selector is used.

• The camera resets the focal length to 

 (infinity) when you turn the camera on.

• When using a tele converter, etc., rotation of the focusing ring may not be smooth.
• When you turn the camera off and then on again with the mode dial set to “AUTO,” 

or change the exposure mode to AUTO from another mode, AF (Auto focus) is 
automatically selected, regardless of the position of the focus mode lever (page 49).

You can make fine adjustments after adjusting the focus in auto focus 
(Direct manual focus). You can assign this function to the “A” position of 
the focus mode lever.
You can quickly focus on a subject rather than using the manual focus from 
the beginning. This is convenient in cases such as macro shooting.
