NOTES NOTES
• With some EF lenses, you may be able to operate the focus ring even when the focus mode switch is set to
AF.
• If you operate the zoom after focusing, the focus on the subject may be lost.
• If you focus manually and then leave the camera with the power turned on, the focus on the subject may be
lost after a while. This possible slight shift in focus is a result of the internal temperature rising in the camera
and lens. Check the focus before resuming shooting.
• When adjusting the focus, be careful not to touch the front of the lens or moving parts on the lens except for
the focus ring.
• When an optional RC-V100 Remote Controller is connected to the camera, you can adjust the focus with the
remote controller's FOCUS dial. At default settings, turn the dial right to focus farther and left to focus nearer.
• To be able to adjust the focus using an accessory connected to a lens (itself connected to the camera using
the 12-pin interface cable), you will need to change the
give priority to the lens.
Using the Focus Assistance Functions
In order to focus more accurately, you can use the following focus assistance functions: Dual Pixel Focus Guide
(Z only), an onscreen guide that shows you if the picture is in focus; peaking, which creates a clearer
contrast by emphasizing the outlines of the subject; and magnification, which enlarges the image on the screen.
You can use peaking and the focus guide or peaking and magnification simultaneously for greater effect.
Z Dual Pixel Focus Guide
The focus guide gives you an intuitive visual indication of the current focus distance and the direction and
amount of adjustment necessary to bring the picture into full focus. When used in combination with face
detection (A 96), the guide will focus on the vicinity of the eyes of the person detected as the main subject.
