Focus signal

When using non D series lenses, the camera switches to center- weighted metering. The metered exposure may be different in autofocus and manual focus.

In the program, aperture-priority, shutter-priority, manual-exposure modes, when manual focus is activated in one mode it is active in the other three; manual focus is not reset to autofocus when the camera is turned off, but is reset if the mode dial is turned to the full- auto program or subject program position. With full-auto program and subject programs, manual focus is reset to autofocus when the position of the mode dial is changed.
