Lens Sounds

The sound produced by the lens during focus operations increases with AF speed. The eect is partic-

ularly noticeable at a setting of [+5], so choose lower values if you nd the noise distracting.

“AF-ON” and “Fast AF-ON”

Among the roles that can be assigned using Custom Setting g2 [Custom controls] are [AF‑ON] and

[Fast AF‑ON] (058).

• To focus at the speed selected for Custom Setting g6 [AF speed], press a control that has been as-

signed [AF‑ON] or press the shutter-release button halfway. To focus at maximum speed (equivalent

to an [AF speed] setting of +5), regardless of the setting selected for Custom Setting g6, use a control

that has been assigned [Fast AF‑ON].

• Assigning [AF‑ON] and [Fast AF‑ON] to two dierent controls lets you rack focus at dierent speeds

depending on the situation. To rack focus slowly on human subjects and quickly on other subjects,

for example, use the control assigned [AF‑ON] for human subjects and the control assigned [Fast

AF‑ON] for other subjects.

AF Tracking SensitivityAF Tracking Sensitivity

Choose how quickly focus switches from one subject to another.

AF tracking sensitivity can be adjusted in the range 1 to 7 using Custom

Setting g7 [AF tracking sensitivity].

 Choose [7] (Low) to help maintain focus on your original subject.

 If the subject leaves the selected focus area when [1] (High) is select-

ed, the camera will respond by quickly shifting focus to a new subject

in the same area.

Save Focus PositionSave Focus Position

Choose whether the camera saves the current focus position when

turned o and restores it when turned on.

Settings can be adjusted using [Save focus position] in the setup menu.

 When [ON] is selected, the camera will save the current focus position

when turned o.

Save Focus Position

• Camera startup times may increase.

• Even when [ON] is selected, changes in temperature, zoom position, or other conditions while the

camera is o may result in focus resuming from a dierent position when the camera is turned on.

• Similarly, note that even when [OFF] is selected, focus may resume from the previously-selected po-

sition depending on the state of the camera and lens.
