AL FOCUS

Manual Focus

Manual focus can be used with lenses that do not support autofocus (non-AF Nikkor

lenses) or in situations in which autofocus will not produce the desired results.

Adjusting Focus in the Viewfinder

To use manual focus, turn the focus-mode selector (A) to M and turn the lens

focusing ring (B) until the image displayed on the clear matte field in the viewfinder is

in focus. Photographs can be taken even when the in-focus indicator (●) does not

appear in the viewfinder.

Using the Electronic Range Finder

When a lens with a maximum aperture of f/5.6 or

faster is used in manual focus mode, the in-focus indi-

cator (●) can be used to confirm focus in any of the

five focus areas. With the focus-mode selector set to

M, press the shutter-release button halfway. Before

the focus indicator in the viewfinder disappears, rotate

the lens focusing ring (A) until the in-focus indicator

(●) is displayed in the viewfinder (B). If the

indica-

tor is displayed, the camera is focused on a point be-

tween the camera and the subject. If the

ndicator

appears, the camera is focused on a point behind the

subject.
