Using the Focus Range Settings
The Focus MF button lets you toggle between four focus
settings on the camera. The following table describes each of
the focus range settings on the camera:
Setting Description
Normal
Focus
Use when taking pictures of subjects greater than
40 cm (15.75 in) away. Normal Focus is limited to a
range of 40 cm (15.75 in) to infinity. This is the
default focus setting.
Macro Use when taking close-up pictures of subjects less
than 50 cm (19.5 in) away. With this setting, the
camera will not take a picture if it cannot find focus
(the AF viewfinder light blinks green and the focus
brackets turn red in the Live View screen). Macro
focus has a range of 18 to 50 cm (7 to 19.5 in).
Infinity Use when taking pictures of distant objects and
landscapes. Focus is limited to a small region near
infinity.

range. Use the buttons to adjust the focus.
You can determine the focus by observing the image
in the Live View screen and by a meter that appears
on the left side of the Live View screen. For more
