Re: Manual focus with push auto?
Well, I was one of those that sold off my cameras, but I sold my FX1 with reluctance. At the time it was necessary, but I would kill to have it back right now.
It doesn't shoot 720p, however and that would be an issue. The next best choice in my price range would be an HMC 150, which I've owned, but I disliked.

Here is another option for you: Option 1) Set Custom Menu [AF/AE Lock] to either AF, AE or AF/AE. Now press and hold the AF/AE Lock button while turning focus ring. Option 2) Also set Custom Menu [AF/AE Lock Hold] to On. Now a single press of the AF/AE Lock button will lock AF and/or AE (depending on your setting in Option 1) until the AF/AE Lock button is pressed again. Now turn focus ring. This [AF/AE Lock Hold] can also eliminate ALL focus hunt issues. One press of the AF/AE Lock button will lock AF and/or AE until pressed again. If you're doing any type of pan or tilt, this feature is your friend. |

Re: Manual focus with push auto?
Jim, that procedure I outlined is for operating MF and AF at the same time. I just double checked and it works on mine. I even reset the camera to default settings and it worked. I couldn't get Dan's settings though to operate MF and AF at the same time. It did work however for preventing hunting.
