A‎-M

A‎-M stands for Auto‎-Manual Mode‎.‎ Thanks to a mechanism incorporated in the lens barrel‎,‎ smooth focusing operation in Manual focus mode is realized in the same way as users have become accustomed to with conventional manual‎-focus lenses by adding an appropriate torque to the focus ring‎.‎
