19 Rangefinder (Displayed When Full Is Selected; A 118)

In all shooting modes except d, selecting On with manual focus mode (A 61) enabled causes the electronic analog exposure display in the viewfinder to switch to the rangefinder display, a scale indicating focus distance. This option is useful when focusing manually.

Available when lens with maximum aperture of f/5.6 or faster is used. Not available in dmode.

When shooting a subject with which autofocus does not perform well (A 38), the rangefinder may be unable to accurately measure focus distance.
