Notes

At a manual focus setting of 0.1m (4in.), the camera may not focus properly when zoomed out.

When manual focus is used with the lens converters available separately for the COOLPIX 950, the actual focus distance may differ from the setting chosen. Check focus in the LCD monitor when using a lens converter.

Focus distance is displayed in the LCD monitor, while the control

panel shows the focus distance together with a flashing icon. A short focus distance can be used to focus the camera on objects at the specified distance while blurring background details. Choose a setting of Inf for a focus distance of infinity. Unlike the autofocus setting of Infinity, manual infinity allows use of the flash. Manual

focus can be cancelled by pressing the button.

Focus Distance

Focus distance is measured from the cover that protects the lens.

Focus distance can be shown in either meters or feet. To change the units used, select CONTROLS from the M-REC menu. To display distances in feet, check the DIST FT item and press the shutter-release button. If this item is not checked, distances are displayed in meters.
