MANUAL FOCUS

The lens can be focused manually. The autofocus system can be
used to monitor focus and indicate when a subject in the focus frame
is in focus.
1. Slide the focus-mode switch down
and release.
• "MF" will appear on the data panel.
2. Turn the focusing ring until the
subject appears sharp.
• When the shutter-release button is pressed
partway down, the AF system monitors the
focus. The viewfinder focus signal glows when
the object in the focus frame is in focus.
• To return to the autofocus mode, slide the
focus-mode switch down a second time; the
manual focus indicator on the data panel will
disappear. Manual focus is canceled when the
camera is turned off.
• When using manual focus with 'D' series lenses, multi-segment metering is
employed. With other lens, the camera automatically switches to center-
weighted metering. The metered exposure may be different between
autofocus and manual focus.
