Enlarging the Image when Focusing Manually (EOS M3)

Solution

    The procedure for enlarging the image when focusing manually is explained below.
    NOTE
    To use MF, please select a shooting mode other than [ ] (Scene Intelligent Auto), [ ] (Hybrid Auto), or [ ] (Sports).

    1. Set the camera’s power to [ON].



    2. Press the [ ] button if you have an EF-M lens attached.
    ●[MF] is displayed.




    REFERENCE
    If you have a non-EF-M lens, turn off the camera, set the lens switch to [MF], then turn the camera back on.
    If [Continuous AF] is set to [Off], you do not need to turn off the camera when switching to [MF] when using a non-EF-M lens.

    3. Press the [ ] button.
    ● The magnifying frame will appear in the center of the screen. On the bottom right, you will see a magnification ratio and the area currently being magnified.





    4. Press the [ ], [ ], [ ], [ ] buttons to move the frame and select the area to magnify.
    • Hold down the [ ] button for at least two seconds to reset the frame to the center of the screen.



    5. Press the [ ] button or turn the [ ] or [ ] dial to switch the overall magnification between 1x (no magnification), 5x, or 10x.



    6. While looking at the magnified display, turn the lens focusing ring to focus.
    (The EF-M18-55mm F3.5-5.6 IS STM is shown in the example image below. The location and characteristics of the focus ring may differ depending on the lens model.)



    7. Shoot.
