Focusing Modes - continued

When these conditions are met, the auxiliary AF light operates automatically. This function cannot be cancelled. The auxiliary AF light can be used with AF Nikkor lenses that have focal lengths between 24 and 200 mm. In general, the effective range of the auxiliary AF light is 0.5 to 3 m (1.6 to 9.8 ft.).

Note

Continuous use of the auxiliary AF light

If you use the auxiliary AF light continuously, the illuminating lamp temporarily switches off to protect the lamp. You can continue using the lamp after a slight delay.

Important

Nikon flash units and active auxiliary flash

If you use a Nikon flash equipped with active auxiliary flash and take pictures using TTL mode, the active auxiliary flash on the Nikon flash is automatically used. See P.78 for information on the Nikon flash models that can be used.

When M (manual focus) is Selected

Set the focus mode selector switch to M and focus the camera by turning the focusing ring on the lens until the image can be seen clearly in the matt surface of the viewfinder screen. The shutter can be released regardless of whether the focus indicator “” lights. Use manual focus for subjects that are not suitable for auto focusing or when a lens other than an AF Nikkor lens is mounted on the camera (P.107).

Important

Focus Aid

If the lens mounted has an f-step setting brighter than f/5.6 when the focusing mode is set to M (manual focus), the “focus aid focusing” feature allows the focus to be checked using the focus display in the viewfinder. Turn the focusing ring on the lens so that the focus indicator “●” lights. The shutter button can be released at any point.
