The digits displayed for the gauge on the right of the monitor in step 2 serve as a guideline for the distance to a subject that is in focus when the gauge indicates the center. To change the unit of this gauge, use MF distance indicator units (E90) in the setup menu. The actual range at which the subject can be in focus varies depending on the aperture value and zoom position. To see whether the subject is in focus, check the subject on the monitor.

Press the shutter-release button halfway to preview an approximate depth of field (the area in focus behind and in front of the subject).
