Using Target Finding Af - Nikon Coolpix A1000 User Manual

Using Target Finding AF

When AF area mode (A140) is set to Target finding AF in A, B, C, or D mode, or
when in creative mode, the camera focuses in the manner described below when you
press the shutter-release button halfway.
The camera detects the main subject and
focuses on it. When the subject is in focus, the
focus area is displayed in green. If a human face
is detected, the camera automatically sets focus
priority on it.
If no main subject is detected, the camera
automatically selects one or more of the nine
focus areas containing the subject closest to the
camera. When the subject is in focus, the focus
areas that are in focus are displayed in green.

Notes About Target Finding AF

The camera may not detect the main subject appropriately in the following situations:
- When the subject is very dark or bright
- When the main subject lacks clearly defined colors
- When the shot is framed so that the main subject is on the edge of the screen
- When the main subject is composed of a repeating pattern
