Nikon 3699, 3700, 55 instruction manual Focus Area, When focus mode is set to Autofocus

Focus Area

This camera'sthree focus areas cover a wide frame area, and you can select among them, depending on the subject'sposition in the frame or your desired composition. When the focus mode is set to AF (page 46), you can select either Dynamic AF Mode with Closest-Subject Priority, where the camera automatically selects the focus area, or Dynamic AF Mode, where you select the desired focus area. When the focus mode is set to M (manual focus, page 47), Single Area Mode is automatically selected. In this mode, you focus manually using the selected focus area.

~ Tip

Dynamic AF Mode with Closest-Subject Priority is useful when you want the camera to take automatic control over focus operations, or when shooting a moving subject. Dynamic AF Mode is useful in achieving focus on a particular part of a subject, or

when the composition of the photograph is your top priority.
