Using Target Finding Af - Nikon COOLPIX B600 Reference Manual

Using Target Finding AF

When AF area mode (A111) is set to Target finding AF in A (auto) 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
Depending on shooting conditions, the subject that the camera determines to be the
main subject may vary.
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
This function may not be available to use in combination with other functions (A61).
