This camera has autofocus and manual focus control. The focus mode must be activated separately
in the Digital Subject Program and P, A, S, and M exposure-mode menus. The focus mode is activat-
ed in section 2 of the P, A, S, and M exposure-mode menu (p. 44). When using Digital Subject
Programs the focus mode is reset when the position of the exposure mode dial is changed or when
the camera is turned off
Autofocus will produce excellent results in almost every situation, however, under certain conditions,
the autofocus system will not work accurately; see special focusing situations on page 25. In these
situations the camera can be manually focused.
When focusing manually, a distance scale shows the approximate subject distance. The scale
changes depending on the focusing range.
Focus modes
When using the shutter-priority, aperture-priority, or
manual exposure modes (p. 36 - 38) with manual
focus, press the central button of the controller to
switch between using the up/down keys to focus or to
adjust the exposure. The active function is indicated in
blue.
Use the up/down controller keys to focus. When focusing,
the monitor image is automatically magnified by a maxi-
mum of 2.5X depending on the digital zoom setting; the
focusing scale shows approximate distance. The live image
returns to normal after two seconds, when zooming, or
when the shutter-release button is pressed partway down.
