FC marker (Focus marker)
By setting a marker on the focus ring on the DFF screen, you can move the focus to any marker. You can move the focus to the marker by moving your finger on the screen or automatically.
When automatically moving the focus between markers, the photographer can set the desired time, enabling precise focus work as intended.
