Reference–Beyond Point-and-Shoot
Focusing Near and Far: The Focus-Mode Button
By default, the camera adjusts focus automatically for subjects 30 cm (1´) or more
from the lens, which is ideal for snapshots.
Under some circumstances,
however, you
may want to force the camera to focus on distant objects rather than on the closest
object visible in the center of the frame—for example, when photographing a dis-
tant landscape through a screen of branches or when taking a shot through a win-
dow.
Or you may want the camera to focus on something closer than 30 cm—for
example, to create a close-up of a flower or business card.
Your Nikon digital camera
offers focus modes for both situations.
Some focus modes can be combined with a
timer to delay shutter release, either to keep the camera from shaking or to allow
you to appear in your own pictures.
To select the focus mode, press the
button, which may be found below the
monitor on the back of the camera.
