I was wondering if you might know how to highlight it so that it can be switched to contrast AF. Thank you.</P></BODY></HTML> Tue, 19 Apr 2011 22:06:29 GMT https://community.sony.dk/t5/alpha-nex-interchangeable-lens-cameras/a580-settings/m-p/213950#M3218 Larvin72 2011-04-19T22:06:29Z a580 settings https://community.sony.dk/t5/alpha-nex-interchangeable-lens-cameras/a580-settings/m-p/213951#M3219 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Larvin72</P><P>I suspect the restriction is due to the viewing mode. Test in live view and in optical view modes.
