In this video I show you how to use the manual focus mode on the Sony a5100.

Go to your menu settings. Click the camera settings. Go to the third tab and choose manual focus.

It is different than the direct manual focus. So, be sure to choose the right one. I plan on doing another video later.

When you choose manual focus on the sony a5100 you can choose to have the zebra function on or off.

If it is on the zebra stripes will illuminate when you're in focus.

Use the zoom lens ring to manual focus.

Please note that you will have to switch to using the zoom switch on the shutter button to zoom.

Once in manual mode the camera will not zoom in for the photo any more. It will only zoom in so you can see your focus point, and then it will reset to your set focal distance.

Once the camera zooms in so you can get a better look at what you're focusing on you're able to manually turn the focus ring to dial in your focus.

In the settings you can change how long you want this focus peep to stay active.

Thanks for checking out my efforts to help you focus the a5100 manually.
