the range after you focus on the subject you want to shoot.

Notes

• This function cannot be used with the manual focus or movie recording.

• If you change the lens, the AF range you have set will be reset.

function with the AF Range Control function on the camera. Use either of the

function.

light or when the contrast of the subject is low, such as a solid color flat surface. In

such cases, use the contoured part of the subject, etc. to focus on the subject.

lens is equipped with a motor (SSM, SAM lenses*).
