Reference—Focus
Manual Focus
Manual focus is available for lenses that do not sup-
port autofocus (non-AF Nikkor lenses) or when auto-
focus does not produce the desired results (
59).
To focus manually, set the focus-mode selector to
M
and adjust the lens focusing ring until the image dis-
played on the clear matte field in the viewfinder is in
focus.
Photographs can be taken at any time, even
when the image is not in focus.
The Electronic Range Finder
If the lens has a maximum aperture of f/5.6 or faster,
the viewfinder focus indicator can be used to confirm
whether the portion of the subject in the selected fo-
cus area is in focus.
After positioning the subject in
the active focus area, press the shutter-release button
halfway and rotate the lens focusing ring until the in-
focus indicator (
●
) is displayed.
To determine the distance between your subject and the
camera, measure from the focal plane mark on the cam-
era body.
The distance between the lens mounting flange
and the focal plane is 46.5 mm (1.83 in.).
