FOCUS MODE
Caution
Do not attempt to turn the lens focusing ring or impede its
rotation when the focus mode selector is set to Single
Servo AF (S) or Continuous Servo AF (C).
The Nikon F5 has two autofocus modes, Single Servo AF with
Focus-Priority and Continuous Servo AF with Release-Priority. In
either of these modes—and in any film advance mode—Focus
Tracking automatically activates when the subject starts moving,
provided you are not using Single Servo AF mode and the focus
has already locked, or you are using Continuous Servo AF
mode and are pressing the AE-L/AF-L button.
See page 42 for more details on Single Servo AF with Focus-
Priority; page 44 for Continuous Servo AF with Release-Priority.
c
Release-Priority can be given to Single
Servo AF or Focus-Priority to
Continuous Servo AF using Custom Setting #1, 2. See
page 88.
