Advertisement Posted December 31, 2015 Posted December 31, 2015 Hi Batman57, Take a look here Additional Focus Modes with tele-zoom. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
JPP1 Posted December 31, 2015 Share #2  Posted December 31, 2015 This was introduced with firmware 1.3 and, to my knowledge, is only documented in the firmware release notes:  Optional limited Focus range: a newly special limited AF modus for new lenses – etc. the tele photo Vario lens 55-135mm – which offers a limited focus distance range in order to speed up the Auto Focus for certain applications  From my experience, in theses modes the camera will not try to focus under around 5 ft. This both speeds up the process (far less hunting) and avoids problems when shooting through a window.   Jean-Pierre Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
euston Posted January 1, 2016 Share #3 Â Posted January 1, 2016 Batman, thanks for raising this and, Jean-Pierre, thanks for the explanation. I had noticed the new focus modes and had read the firmware notes but had failed to make the connection between them until you put two and two together for me. Â This is a very worthwhile improvement. Focusing is now appreciably faster and more efficient with this lens. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPP1 Posted January 1, 2016 Share #4 Â Posted January 1, 2016 Note that when one of these modes is selected,the top status bar shows an infinity symbol. Much more meaningful,IMHO,than the arrows. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batman57 Posted January 1, 2016 Author Share #5  Posted January 1, 2016 Thanks to all of you, guys, very  helpful this forum. On my previous Canon tele-zoom there was a hw switch to limit the focus range. Many thanks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
