Manual focus
9. 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.
