control focusing.

The camera first focuses on infinity, then it
switches to manual focus.
The FOCUS switch automatically moves
back to M (MANUAL) after you move it to ∞ .

Even if you have switched FOCUS to M (MANUAL)
the camera will focus automatically while you press
down PUSH AUTO.
• Auto focus may not work properly if there is flickering.
Select a shutter speed suited to the ambient light.

• When you use auto focus in the progressive or slow
shutter modes, the focus assist mode becomes active
which gives a more accurate focus than manual
focusing.
The extra focus control will make focusing take longer
than normal.
