Basic Settings

This chapter covers basic shooting and playback settings.

Focus

Focus can be adjusted automatically, manually, or using touch
controls. How the camera focuses is governed by your choice of
focus mode and AF-area mode.

Choosing a Focus Mode

The focus mode controls how the
camera focuses. The focus mode can be
selected using the Focus mode items in
the i menu and the photo and movie
shooting menus (0 113, 130, 137).
At default settings, the focus mode can
also be selected by holding the Fn2 button and rotating the main
command dial (0 24).
Option
AF-S
Single AF
For stationary subjects. Press the shutter-release
button halfway to focus. If the camera is able to focus,
the focus point will be displayed in green; focus will
lock while the shutter-release button is pressed
halfway. If the camera fails to focus, the focus point
will flash red. At default settings, the shutter can only
be released if the camera is able to focus (focus
priority).
