DIRECT MANUAL FOCUS
Direct manual focus allows manual adjustments to be made after the AF system has locked onto the
subjects. Direct manual focus is activated in the custom 1 section of the setup menu (p. 114 of the
DiMAGE 7 manual). Direct manual focus is canceled when continuous AF or manual focus is in use.

After composing the image, press the shutter-release
button partway down to lock the focus and exposure (1);
the shutter speed and aperture display will turn black and
the focus signal will turn white. “DMF” will be displayed
next to the drive-mode indicator.
While pressing the shutter-release button partway down, the
camera can be manually focused until the shutter button is
released. The approximate focusing distance is displayed next
to the frame counter. Electronic magnification can be used
while direct manual focus is active. If AF/AE toggle is the select-
ed setting for the AF/AE lock button operation, pressing the lock
button once will lock the focus and the focusing ring can then
be used without the need to continually hold the shutter-release
button.
