A-B Focus

Lets you smoothly and easily shift focus from one subject to another

This function allows you to shift focus at a preset speed, as is frequently done when recording video. Get exactly the kind of visual expression you want, for example, by slowly shifting the focus from a distant subject to one closer to you, or by guiding the gaze of the person viewing the video. Use the Focus Set Button to record two preset focal points in advance. Afterwards, a simple press on the Focus Set Button allows you to shoot while moving focus automatically and at a set speed; you don’t have to worry about the speed blur associated with manual focus, and you can achieve stable visual expression.

This feature broadens the range of your visual expression.
