❚❚ The Electronic Rangefinder (Viewfinder Photography)

The viewfinder focus indicator can be 
used to confirm whether the subject in 
the selected focus point is in focus (the 
focus point can be selected from any of 
the 11 focus points). After positioning 
the subject in the selected focus point, 
press the shutter-release button halfway 
and rotate the lens focus ring until the in-focus indicator (

I) is 

displayed. Note that with the subjects listed on page 72, the in-
focus indicator may sometimes be displayed when the subject is 
not in focus; confirm focus in the viewfinder before shooting.

If the lens supports M/A (autofocus with 
manual override) or A/M (autofocus with 
manual override/AF priority), manual focus 
can also be selected by setting the camera 
focus mode to MF (manual focus; 

0 69). 

Focus can then be adjusted manually, 
regardless of the mode selected with the 
lens.

To determine the distance between your 
subject and the camera, measure from the 
focal plane mark (

E) on the camera body. 

The distance between the lens mounting 
flange and the focal plane is 46.5 mm 
(1.83 in.).
