Basic Photography and Playback: Auto Mode Choosing a Focus Mode Choose a focus mode according to the subject and composition. A Autofocus Camera automatically adjusts focus according to distance to subject. Use when the distance from subject to lens is 50 cm (1 ft. 7 in.) or more when camera is zoomed all the way out. D Macro close-up Use for close-ups of flowers, insects, or small objects. When the F mark on the monitor glows green (when the zoom indicator is positioned before G), the camera can focus on subjects as close as about 2 cm (0.8 in.) from the lens. The closest distance at which the camera can focus varies depending on the zoom position. B Infinity Use when shooting distant scenes through foreground objects such as windows or when shooting landscapes. When the shutter-release button is pressed halfway, the AF lamp always glows green. However, the camera may not be able to focus on nearby objects. The flash mode is set to W (off ). E Manual focus The focus can be adjusted for any subject that is a distance of about 2 cm (0.8 in.) to infinity from the lens (A39).
