Manual focus
7. Magnifying the area where you want to focus when focusing manually
When you adjust the focus manually, such as when using an A-mount lens, a manual focus lens, or a lens without signal contacts, etc., you can quickly magnify the area where you want to focus by assigning the [Focus Magnifier] function to a custom key.
We recommend assigning it to an easy-to-operate button such as the AF-ON button. If you often move the magnification position away from the center, we recommend assigning the function to the center of the multi-selector or the center of the control wheel.
Advance preparation | MENU → 2 → [Custom Key] → Select the desired key for assignment. → [Focus Magnifier] |
---|---|
Shooting | The focus magnification scale switches every time you press the assigned key. To return the magnification position to the center, press the C4 (Delete) button. |
8. How to turn the peaking display on/off in the manual focus modes
You can turn the peaking display on or off quickly while shooting in the manual focus (MF) or direct manual focus (DMF) mode. We recommend assigning the function to an easy-to-operate button, such as the AF-ON button.
