Manual Focus - Nikon Z 50 Reference Manual

Manual Focus

Manual focus can be used when
autofocus does not produce the desired
results. Position the focus point over
your subject and rotate the focus or
control ring until the subject is in focus.
For greater precision, tap the X button to
zoom in on the view through the lens.
When the subject is in focus, the focus
point will light green and the in-focus
indicator (I) will appear in the display
(electronic rangefinding).

When using manual focus with subjects not suited to autofocus,

subject is not in focus. Zoom in on the view through the lens and
check focus. Use of a tripod is recommended when the camera is
having trouble focusing.
