Focus

When you hold the grip and look into the viewfinder, or press the shutter button halfway
down, the camera adjusts the focus automatically (Auto focus). Make it a habit to press the
shutter button only halfway down to confirm that the subject is visually in focus.

You can change the focus method. Change the method when it is difficult to get the proper
focus.
