Manual Focus

Manual focus is available for lenses that do not support autofocus (non-AF NIKKOR lenses) or when the autofocus does not produce the desired results (0 93).

AF-S lenses: Set the lens focus mode switch to M.

AAF-S Lenses

Users of AF-S lenses (including the AF-S DX NIKKOR 18–105mm f/3.5–5.6G ED VR lens used in this manual for illustrative purposes; 0 315, 316) can select manual focus simply by setting the lens focus-mode switch to M.

• AF lenses: Set the lens focus mode switch (if present) Focus-mode selector and camera focus-mode selector to M.

D AF Lenses

Do not use AF lenses with the lens focus mode switch set to M and the camera focus-mode selector set to AF. Failure to observe this precaution could damage the camera.

Manual focus lenses: Set the camera focus-mode selector to M.

To focus manually, adjust the lens focus ring until the

 

image displayed on the clear matte field in the

 

viewfinder is in focus. Photographs can be taken at

 

any time, even when the image is not in focus.
