What is the Direct Manual Focus (DMF)? - Konica Minolta DiMAGE A2 Digital Camera

I would suggest that you take this to an honest Ford dealership to get this looked at. I am unsure what all needs to be done to get this sorted out.

When you are using non brand lenses, with an adapter ring, most camera's can't communicate, so you have to use the lens as a non chip lens and it only will work in full manual mode. So switch the camera to M (manual) and then do manual focus and manual aperture on the lens. When you shoot a picture, look on the histogram if you need a faster or slower shutter speed and dial in the speed (manual) you think is correct.

Two methods:-

1. Use the slider switch on the left of the camera to set it to MF (manual focus). The focus ring is an electronic one rather than a physical control like the zoom ring, so the response can seem slow.

2 Go into the camera menu and enable DMF (Direct Manual Focus). This allows you to override the autofocus simply by adjusting the focus control, but it does not work if the slider switch is set to the AF C setting (continuous autofocus), it only work in the AF-S (AF only activates once when the shutter is half pressed).

Hmm der's no way of applying themes to KP500. the 2 ways 2 apply themes are ".dmf" and ".swf"...... .dmf way of approahing is more preferrable than .swf......

Can't start any new or existing projects at all. Nothing happen

With DMF function selected, focus can be manually adjusted after it has been once confirmed using camera's AF system. It is useful for Macro photography and Portrait photography. DMF cannot be used in continuous AF mode.

When using manual focus(MF) and direct manual focus(DMF) mode, Flex Digital magnifier (FDM) can be used to confirm selected flex focus point by enlarging it to 4x. The focus point can be selected after enlarging.

When using manual focus(MF) and direct manual focus(DMF) mode, Flex Digital magnifier (FDM) can be used to confirm selected flex focus point by enlarging it to 3.3x. Also the focus point can be selected after enlarging. (The conventional models: Magnified 2x, at the center of the LCD.)

With DMF function selected, focus can be manually changed after it has been once confirmed using camera's AF system. DMF cannot be used during continuous advance.
