1 2 3 AF Manual focus mode The Manual focus mode is set by the front control wheel on the grip in the following manner: In camera active mode: 1) Press the AF button on the grip. 2) Turn the front control wheel to: Manual 3) Press Save to store the setting. You can also use the shutter release button ‘half-press’ function to save a new setting and automatically return to the main screen. Natural friction is inherent in the design to purposely reproduce the secure feel of a completely manual lens. Please note that when focusing manually, the infinity and closest distance marks on the lens scale can appear to be positioned beyond the central index. This is only an apparent effect and does not change the focusing range of the lens. Autofocus override in Manual mode See Autofocus section for a description of how to use the advantages of a rapid autofocus check while remaining in Manual mode. Autofocus Autofocus mode can be either Single Shot or Continuous and is activated by pressing the shutter release to the half-press position. Its operative range from EV1 - 19 at ISO100. The point of focus is determined by the area within the central rectangular zone on the focusing screen. When light levels are too low or the contrast of the subject is too low, auxiliary illumination (situated on the top of the grip) is automatically activated if desired. The operative distance is approximately six metres from the camera. Alternatively, a suitable attached flash unit that has a similar facility ( a Metz 54/70, for example) can also be used instead. This feature can be altered in settings; see under Custom options/AF assist light. The autofocus range on the HC 4/120 Macro lens can be limited by a specific setting on the camera allowing for near range, far range or full range. This only appears on the grip LCD together with this particular lens. Single Shot At Single Shot setting (AF S), the shutter release will be blocked until the camera finds the optimum focus setting. This ensures that no exposures can be made that are not finely focused. However, this delay will normally be only a fraction of a second in good lighting conditions with a clear focusing pattern. Note though that in this mode the lens will focus at a distance and will remain focused at that distance while pressure remains on the shutter release button. In this way, you can focus on a nearby object for example, temporarily positioned within the focusing zone on the viewing screen and then without releasing pressure on the shutter release button, recompose knowing that the focus remains on the object chosen even though it is now outside the focusing zone. Releasing the pressure on the shutter release button and pressing again half way would now change the focus setting to the distance of the object within the focusing zone. See under ‘Manual override in autofocus mode’ for a useful way of working with manual and autofocus settings in a combined manner. 52
1 AF 2 3 53 Continuous At Continuous setting (AF C), the shutter can be released rapidly before the lens is focused in order to capture a split-second shot (in Single Shot, an exposure cannot be made until the camera has had time to focus). However, the camera will continue to focus if a moving subject is within the focusing zone or if you recompose, even though the shutter release button is half pressed. One method to exploit this feature when photographing in a rapidly changing situation such as photojournalism, for example, is to keep the shutter release button pressed down. In this way the lens focuses constantly (according to the focusing zone) and by momentarily releasing the pressure on the shutter release and then immediately pressing again, you minimize the amount of time needed for the lens to check focus, thus ensuring a split-second shot at optimum focus. Autofocus mode Autofocus is set via the control wheels in the following manner: In camera active mode: 1) Press the AF button on the grip. 2) Turn the front control wheel to: Single Shot or Continuous as required. 3) Press Save (DRIVE button) to store the setting. Manual override in autofocus mode Manual override is always possible in automatic focus mode without any need to make a new setting; just rotate the focusing ring in the conventional manner. As the lens barrel does not rotate in autofocus mode, you can hold the focusing ring for instant manual adjustments as you would with a conventional lens. However, to retain the new manual focus adjustments, you must maintain the pressure on the shutter release button. You can instantly return to the automatic focusing mode by releasing the pressure on the shutter release button first and then pressing the release button halfway again. The instant manual override facility produces a convenient way of working. You can take advantage of autofocus while retaining an instantly adjustable manual focus check if preferred for pin-point accuracy without making any changes in the settings. Another method for users who prefer more manual focus control while maintaining the benefits of the accuracy of autofocus is to set the camera to Manual focus and the User button to AF (Single) drive (see ‘User button function list’). Focus is then adjusted manually with the focusing ring as normal but when the User button is pressed, the autofocus facility temporarily operates in AF S mode. After the new focus adjustment has been made automatically, the camera reverts immediately to manual focus control when the User button is released. Therefore, you can recompose the picture without having to maintain pressure on the release button in order to retain the newly automatically made focus setting.
