Focus Mode Setting - Nikon Coolpix P330 Quick Start Manual

Available Focus Modes
Autofocus
A
The camera automatically adjusts the focus according to the distance to the subject.
Use when the distance from the subject to the lens is 30 cm (1 ft) or more, or 50 cm
(1 ft 8 in.) or more at the maximum telephoto zoom position.
D
Macro close-up
Use for close-ups of flowers or small objects.
How close you can be to the subject while shooting depends on the zoom position.
At the zoom position where F and the zoom indicator light in green, the camera
can focus on subjects as close as about 10 cm (4 in.) or farther from the lens. At a
wider-angle zoom position than that indicated by G, it can focus on subjects as
close as about 3 cm (1.2 in.) or farther from the lens.
Infinity
B
Use when shooting distant scenes through window glass or when shooting
landscapes.
The camera automatically adjusts the focus near infinity.
• The camera may not be able to focus on nearby objects.
• The flash does not fire.
Manual focus
E
The focus can be adjusted for any subject that is a distance of 3 cm (1.2 in.) to infinity
from the lens (E2). The closest distance at which the camera can focus varies
depending on the zoom position.
• This function can be used when the shooting mode is A, B, C, D, i, Sports or
Special effects scene mode.

Note on Shooting with the Flash
The flash may be unable to light the entire subject at distances of less than 50 cm (1 ft 8 in.).
