When you focus manually, the AF frame mode (

=

82

) is [1-point]

and AF frame size (

=

83

) is [Normal], and these settings cannot

be changed.

Focusing is possible when using the digital zoom (

=

36

) or digital

tele-converter (

=

82

), or when using a TV as a display (

=

),

but the magnified display will not appear.

You can also adjust the focus by turning the <

y> ring (

To focus more accurately, try attaching the camera to a tripod to stabilize it.

To hide or enlarge the magnified display area, press the <

n> button and

adjust the [MF-Point Zoom] settings on the [

To deactivate automatic focus fine-tuning when the shutter button is pressed
halfway, press the <

n> button and set [Safety MF] on the [4] tab to [Off]

(
