Focusing

Canon interchangeable lens cameras offer various methods of focusing.. For detailed information regarding the available focus mode settings for your particular model, refer to the instruction manual of your camera.

Set the AF/MF switch to “AF” for auto focus operation.
For manual focus operation set the switch to “M”. Manual Focus allows you instead of the camera to adjust the focus by rotating the manual focus ring on the lens. Manual focus is effective when auto focus does not work well.
