More on Photography

Manual focus is available in P, S, A, M, and

 

 

modes for situations in which 

the desired results can not be achieved using autofocus.  Focus distance can 
be selected from preset values ranging from 3 cm / 1˝ (widest angle) or 1 m / 3´3˝ 
(maximum zoom) to infi nity.

To cancel manual focus, press the MF (

) button.

When manual focus is in the macro close-up range (the    end of the manual focus 
display), the manual focus display will turn green and the camera will be able to focus 
on subjects as close as 3 cm (1˝).  Note that minimum focus distance varies with zoom 
position; at some positions, the camera may be unable to focus in the macro close-up 
range.  If the camera is unable to focus at the current zoom position, the manual focus 
display will turn red.

The AE / AF-L button can not be used to lock focus in manual focus mode.

Use autofocus with optional converter lenses (

 97).
