Understanding the Focus Search
Priority
When the camera is set to Normal Focus or Macro focus, it
begins searching for focus from the last focus position.
However, you can use the buttons to change this
behavior. This feature is useful when there are multiple objects
at different distances in the focus region.
!
Holding the button while pressing the Shutter halfway
down causes the camera to begin searching for focus from
the farthest position (infinity in
Normal Focus and 0.4 m in
Macro ), thus making the camera more likely to focus on an
object in the background.
!
Holding the button while pressing the Shutter halfway
down causes the camera to begin searching for focus from
the nearest position (0.4 m in
Normal Focus and 0.18 m in
Macro ), thus making the camera more likely to focus on an
object in the foreground.
