Focus modes

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 activated 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.

Use the up/down controller keys to focus. When focusing, the monitor image is automatically magnified by a maximum 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.

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.
