The focus method is configured by a setting. Select (Settings) > Device settings >
Focus > Auto focus and then select Contrast or Laser.
WARNING
When the camera is set to autofocusing with the laser method, do not point the camera at the face of a
person when you use the autofocus function. The laser beam can cause eye irritation.
Note For large lenses that cover the laser transmitter and receiver, the laser functional-
ity is disabled. This means that the focus method Laser is not available.
7.4.3 Continuous autofocus
The camera can be set up to perform continuous autofocusing.
When the continuous autofocus function is enabled, the camera bases the focus adjust-
ments on continuous laser distance measurements. The laser is continuously on.
To enable or disable continuous autofocus, do one of the following:
• Select
(Settings) > Device settings > Focus > Continuous autofocus > On or Off.
• Touch the soft button
.
WARNING
Do not point the camera at the face of a person when the continuous autofocus function is on. The cam-
era uses laser distance measurements (that are continuous) for the focus adjustments. The laser beam
can cause eye irritation.
Note
• Before you can enable continuous autofocus, you need to enable the laser and select
laser as focus method. See section 7.4.2.1 Autofocus method.
• When continuous autofocus is enabled, it is not possible to manually adjust the focus
by rotating the focus ring.
• For large lenses that cover the laser transmitter and receiver, the laser functionality is
disabled. This means that continuous autofocus is not available.
• You can also assign the continuous autofocus function to one of the programmable
buttons. For more information, see section 7.12 Programmable buttons.
