MANUAL
When selected all focus operations are manual.
CONFIRM
Enables the Center or Spot focus square for use with manual focus. This mode provides additional
focus assistance to the photographer using RED, YELLOW, and GREEN color changes to the focus spot
window. Inadequate subject illumination and/or contrast may interfere with normal Focus Confirm
operation.
For best results with Focus Confirm, operators should 'rock' the focus ring -- focusing through the point
of optimum focusing and back again in decreasing amplitude -- as when 'zeroing-in' for precision
manual focus.
SINGLE
A Focus / Record Button half-press performs single-shot AF. Optimized for rapid focus even under low-
contrast conditions. Works with both Center and Spot Zones.
CONTINUOUS
Once engaged with half-press, will attempt to keep objects in AF window in focus. Works best with
good lighting and contrast. Works with both Center and Spot Zones.
TOUCH TRACK
Dynamically updating positionable AF using touchscreen. Works with Spot Zone only. Keep AF Spot on
subject while moving across frame, will continuously focus on spot.
RACK
For quickly selecting two focus points and executing rack focus between them. Focus points are
selected using the Touchscreen. Shutter half-press executes rack movement. Works with Spot Zone
only.
Rack mode remembers the last Center or Spot position and focus setting as the first rack point. A
second rack point needs to be defined by moving the spot window to the desired second location. If the
spot window is not moved, a shutter half-press will only cause the lens to execute a single AF
adjustment on the original Spot. On the other hand, when two rack points have already been defined,
the rack point can be updated by moving the spot to a new location. This will replace the rack point that
is not in focus at that moment.
