2 You can manually override autofocus by operating the manual focus ring while lightly depressing the shutter release button or the AF-Start (AF-ON) button on the camera or the Focus operation button on the lens.

3 To cancel manual override, remove your finger from the shutter release button or the AF start button on the camera or the Focus operation button on the lens, and lightly depress the shutter release button to return to the autofocus mode.

■To limit the range of autofocus

(For AF cameras compatible with AF-S Nikkor lenses only)

With AF operation, if the subject is always more than 6m (19.7 ft.) away, set the focusing limit switch to “∞–6m” to reduce focusing time. If the subject is 6m (19.7 ft.) or closer, set it to “FULL” (Fig. E).

Position of Focus operation selection switch	Function of Focus operation button
AF-L	Focus lock
MEMORY RECALL	Memory recall
AF-ON	AF start (AF-ON) on the lens

The position of the Focus operation buttons can be changed to suit your preference. For more details on this change, contact your nearest Nikon service center or representative office.
