Setting up [Pull Focus]
Set the frames that determine a focus start (first) position
and focus end (second) position. The camera then measures
its distance to the subjects and sets focus. When you start
motion picture recording, focus shifts from the first frame to
the second frame.
Touch operation
Touch a subject (first position), drag your finger to the desired location (second position),
and release the finger.
• Auto Focus will work to set the start and end focus of [Pull Focus]. When the setup has failed, the
frame returns to the first position. Perform the setup again.
• To cancel the frame settings, touch [
].

A greater effect can be achieved by creating a striking contrast of focus between
the start and end positions, for example by shifting focus from the background to
foreground, or vice versa.

After setting focus, try to keep the distance between the subject and the camera
constant.

When [Pull Focus] is set to [ON]

To re-adjust the focus while recording a motion picture, press the shutter button halfway after the
[Pull Focus] operation finishes.
