• The AF area may not be illuminated during continuous shooting or when the shutter 
button is pressed all the way down without pause.
When it is difficult to get the proper focus in autofocus mode, you can 
adjust the focus manually.
Notes
• In the case of a subject that can be focused in autofocus mode, the z indicator lights 
up in the viewfinder when the focus is confirmed. When the Wide AF area is used, 
the center area is used, and when the Local AF area is used, the area that is selected 
with the controller is used.
• The camera resets the focal length to 
 (infinity) when the POWER switch is set to 
ON.
• When using a tele converter, etc., rotation of the focusing ring may not be smooth.
• The correct focus is not achieved if the diopter is not adjusted properly (page 26).
