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 72).

D AF Lenses That Are Not AF-S Lenses

Except when using an AF-S lens, 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 or lens.

•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

N viewfinder is in focus. Photographs can be taken at

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

❚❚The Electronic Rangefinder

The viewfinder focus indicator can be used to confirm

whether the subject in the selected focus point is in focus (the focus point can be selected from any of the 51 focus points). After positioning the subject in the selected focus point, press the shutter-release button halfway and rotate the lens focus ring until the in-

focus indicator (I) is displayed. Note that with the subjects listed on page 72, the in- focus indicator may sometimes be displayed when the subject is not in focus; confirm focus in the viewfinder before shooting.

AFocal Plane Position

To determine the distance between your subject and the
camera, measure from the focal plane mark (E) on the
camera body. The distance between the lens mounting	46.5mm
flange and the focal plane is 46.5 mm (1.83 in.).
