New options for Custom Settings f2 “Custom controls (shooting)” and g2 “Custom controls”: “Save focus position” and “Recall focus position”

[Save focus position] and [Recall focus position] have been added to the roles that can be assigned to camera controls for Custom Settings f2 [Custom controls (shooting)] and g2 [Custom controls]. Assign [Save focus position] to [Lens Fn button] and [Recall focus position] to [Lens Fn2 button] respectively to save and quickly restore the lens’s current focus position using these controls (“memory recall”). You may find this useful if you frequently return to subjects at a fixed focus distance.

• Memory recall is available only when an autofocus Z mount lens equipped with Fn and Fn2 buttons is mounted on the camera. If the lens is not equipped with an Fn2 button, the camera cannot save the focus position even if the [Save focus position] is assigned to the lens Fn button.
• Focus positions can be saved and recalled in both photo and video modes.
• Focus positions can be saved in any focus mode.
• The stored focus position is reset when the lens is detached.

   • Holding the lens Fn2 button activates manual focus, and the camera will not refocus if the shutter-release button is pressed halfway while the control is pressed.
