AUTOFOCUS

The Nikon N90 has two autofocus modes, Single Servo AF with Focus-Priority and Continuous Servo AF with Release-Priority. In either autofocus mode and in any film advance mode, Focus Tracking automatically activates when the subject starts moving. Focus Tracking enables the camera to analyze the speed of the moving subject according to the focus data detected, and to obtain correct focus by anticipating the subject'sposition-and driving the lens to that position-at the exact moment of exposure. You can thus obtain correctly focused pictures for many moving subjects.

Data Link System users

You can give Focus-Priority to Continuous Servo AF and/or Release-Priority to Single Servo AF.

For Single Servo AF in continuous shooting, you can also cancel focus detection and lens driving for the next shot after the first shot is taken so that the subject focus remains locked.

For details, see the Nikon AC-1 E card'sinstruction manual.
