Manual focus setting
Manual focus can be used at any time even in Auto Focus
Mode. You can also switch to Manual Focus Mode and only
use the Focus Ring manually on the lens.
For users who prefer manual focus control but would like the
benets of autofocus, one method is to use the AF-D button
set to AF Drive. Align the AF area with the subject and press
the AF-D Button. The camera uses the Autofocus system to set
correct focus and reverts immediately to manual focus control
when the button is released. Therefore, you can recompose
the picture without having to maintain pressure on the release
button in order to retain the newly automatically made focus
setting.
