Manual focussing has a heavy feel with certain lenses. How do I use “Smooth Focusing”?
The advance total focus control system has many advantages over the conventional system. However, when used with certain lenses, such as a teleconverter, the lens may have a heavier feel than conventional
models, when focusing manually. If desired, users can temporarily select a conventional manual focus operation.
1. Set the focus-mode switch to MF.
2. Simultaneously press the spot-AF button and lens release.
3. Release your finger from the lens release first, then from the spot-AF button.
• The AF/MF control button is inactive when the reversed MF appears on the navigation display.
• Some benefits, such as improved exposure metering and flash metering accuracy in manual focus, will now be the same as with
a conventional camera.
• 14-segment honeycomb-pattern (p. 74) is changed to metering similar to center-weighted average when this option is selected.
• To return to the usual camera operation, set the focus-mode switch to C, A, or S, or set the exposure-mode dial to full-auto.
• AF Power zoom and xi Series lenses cannot be used.
