Manual Focus
Manual focus is available for lenses that do not support autofocus (non-AF NIKKOR
lenses) or when the autofocus does not produce the desired results (0 93).
• AF-S lenses: Set the lens focus mode switch to M.
• AF lenses: Set the lens focus mode switch (if present)
and camera focus-mode selector to M.
• Manual focus lenses: Set the camera focus-mode selector to M.
To focus manually, adjust the lens focus ring until the
image displayed on the clear matte field in the
viewfinder is in focus.
Photographs can be taken at
any time, even when the image is not in focus.
A AF-S Lenses
Users of AF-S lenses (including the AF-S DX NIKKOR 18–105mm f/3.5–5.6G ED VR lens
used in this manual for illustrative purposes; 0 315, 316) can select manual focus simply
by setting the lens focus-mode switch to M.
D AF Lenses
Do not use AF lenses with the lens focus mode switch
set to M and the camera focus-mode selector set to AF.
Failure to observe this precaution could damage the
camera.
