When you focus manually, the AF frame mode (

=

110

)

is [Center] and AF frame size (

=

111

) is [Normal], and

these settings cannot be changed.

Focusing is possible when using the digital zoom

(

=

59

) or digital tele-converter (

=

109

), or when using

a TV as a display (

=

189

), but the magnified display will

not appear.

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

stabilize it.

To hide the magnified display area, press the <

n> button and

set [MF-Point Zoom] on the [

4] tab to [Off] (

=

45

).

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] (

=

45

).

The focal length of the lens can be increased by approximately

1.6x or 2.0x. This can reduce camera shake because the shutter

speed is faster than it would be if you zoomed (including using

digital zoom) in to the same zoom factor.
