Background Defocus

You can change the level of defocus in the background simply by pressing a key while shooting still images or movies.

Hint

In the default settings, [Background Defocus] is assigned to the C1 button.

The aperture value becomes locked and the icon

(Defocus) or

(Clear) is indicated instead of the aperture value in

the [Background Defocus] mode. The aperture value is locked at wide open when

(Defocus) is indicated. The aperture

value is locked at F5.6 when

(Clear) is indicated.

Note

[Background Defocus] is not available in the following shooting modes:

[Sweep Panorama]
[Scene Selection]

The [Background Defocus] mode is canceled, the camera returns to the ordinary mode, and the aperture returns to the former
value when you perform the following operations:

Turning the power off and back on again
Pressing the MODE button
Pressing the MENU button
Changing the aperture value using the control wheel while the shooting mode is set to [Aperture Priority] or [Manual Exposure]
Program shift
Manual shift
Exposure compensation

Even if you press the key, you cannot change the level of defocus while using [Set Focus] or [Focus Magnifier] in the
[Background Defocus] mode.

Depending on the shooting mode and shooting conditions, the camera may be unable to obtain the optimal exposure due to the
locking of the aperture value in the [Background Defocus] mode.

MENU →

(Camera Settings2) → [

Custom Key] or [

Custom Key] → desired key. Then, assign

the [Background Defocus] function to the key.

Repeatedly press the key to which [Background Defocus] is assigned.

Once you press the key, the [Background Defocus] mode is activated and the background becomes defocused.
Afterwards, the level of defocus in the background switches between [Defocus] and [Clear] each time you press the
key.

The camera returns to the ordinary mode and the aperture returns to the former value when you press the
MODE (Mode) button.
