A high-precision, high-speed Micro Drive Focus Unit accurately tracks subjects, even when experiencing abrupt changes in focal distance.

The UX90 provides numerous options to optimize your settings, including adjustment of AF speed and sensitivity, as well as the width of the effective AF area. Other helpful features include one-push AF and on-screen focus assist with colored focus areas. The UX90 also can be put in manual focus mode for manual adjustments with the focus ring.
