Focus-mode selector

Focus Mode

Focus mode is controlled by the

focus-mode selector on the front of

the camera. There are two

autofocus (AF) modes, in which the camera focuses automatically

when the shutter-release button is pressed halfway, and one manual

N focus mode, in which focus must be adjusted manually using the focusing ring on the lens:
