Lightly press the Shutter Release button to start autofocus. When the subject is in focus, the camera’s autofocus motor (or the motor of an AF-I or AF-S Nikkor lens) stops driving the autofocus lens and a • appears in the viewfinder. Unless you remove your finger from the Shutter Release button, the motor will start driving the lens again to obtain an in-focus picture if the focus distance changes.

If a appears in the viewfinder, the lens is focused behind the subject.

If a appears in the viewfinder, the lens is focused in front of the subject.

If a blinks in the viewfinder, autofocus is not possible. Refer to “Special Focusing Situations in AF” on page 9-13.

Focus is not locked in Continuous Servo AF. To capture an off-center subject, use the AE-L/AF-L button and recompose the image. Refer to “AE/AF Lock” on page 13- 16.

Manual Focus

C S M

To focus manually when using a NIKON lens that does not have an A/M switch, set the camera’s Focus Mode selector to M.

When using a NIKON lens with an A/M switch, set the lens’ switch to M.

When using an AF-I or AF-S Nikkor lens, set the switch on the lens to M or M/A. (With these lens types it is not necessary to change the camera’s Focus Mode selector.)

You can use the Electronic Rangefinder or the viewfinder’s clear matte field to ensure precise manual focus.
