a. Autofocus
The red-coded Autofocus options (see Figure 9.2, which shows all but the last two
entries) deal with some of the potentially most vexing settings available with the Nikon
D7000. After all, incorrect focus is one of the most damaging picture-killers of all the
attributes in an image. You may be able to compensate for bad exposure, partially fix
errant color balance, and perhaps even incorporate motion blur into an image as a cre-
ative element. But if focus is wrong, the photograph doesn’t look right, and no amount
of “I meant to do that!” pleas are likely to work. The D7000’s autofocus options enable
you to choose how and when focus is applied (using the AF-S or AF-C focus mode you
selected on the camera body), the controls used to activate the feature, and the way focus
points are selected from the available 39 zones.
