New Options for Custom Setting f2 “Custom Controls (Shooting)”: “Save Focus Position” and “Recall Focus Position”

Save focus position and Recall focus position have been added to the roles that can be assigned to camera controls using Custom Setting f2 (Custom controls (shooting)). You can save the current focus position by assigning Save focus position to Lens Fn button and then pressing and holding the lens Fn button. The saved position can be instantly restored by assigning Recall focus position to Lens Fn2 button and pressing the lens Fn2 button (“memory recall”). You may find this useful if you frequently return to subjects at a fixed focus distance.

• Memory recall is available only when an autofocus Z mount lens equipped with Fn and Fn2 buttons is mounted on the camera. If the lens is not equipped with an Fn2 button, the camera cannot save the focus position even if the Save focus position is assigned to the lens Fn button.
• Focus positions can be saved and recalled in both photo and movie modes.
• Focus positions can be saved in any focus mode.
• The stored focus position is reset when the lens is detached.

   If the operation is successful, an icon will appear in the shooting display to indicate that the focus position has been saved.

4. Press the lens Fn2 button.

   

   • The saved focus position will be restored.
   • Holding the lens Fn2 button activates manual focus, and the camera will not refocus if the shutter-release button is pressed halfway while the control is pressed.
