This is used in conjunction with the MF Assist function (previous section), telling it how long you want the image to be zoomed in when focusing manually. Your choices are 2 seconds, 5 seconds, or “No Limit”. If you choose “No Limit” you have to press the shutter release button halfway down in order to go back to composing your image full-frame.
TIP: Choosing “No Limit” is almost completely incompatible with Direct Manual Focus mode (Section 6.14), for you have to keep the shutter release button pressed to focus, and the only way to cancel the MF Assist is to lift the shutter release button. But then to take a picture you must press the shutter release button all the way, which activates AF again and nullifies whatever critical focusing you just did. My advice: Don’t use “No Limit” when using in conjunction with DMF. |
