FULL-TIME AF

With full-time AF active, the autofocus systems continually focuses to keep the monitor image sharp. This also reduces the autofocusing time when taking pictures. When the camera is set to manual focus, full-time AF is disabled. Turning the full-time AF function off can help conserve battery power. Full-time AF can be turned on and off in section 2 of the P, A, S, and M menus (p. 44).

FLASH MODE

The flash modes can be changed in section 2 of the P, A, S, and M menus (p. 44). This menu option is used when another function is assigned to the flash mode button, see page 62 on the custom key function. For more on flash modes, refer to page 26.
