Focusing Near and Far : The Focus-Mode Button

By default, the camera adjusts focus automatically for subjects 30 cm (1´) or more
from the lens, which is ideal for snapshots. Under some circumstances, however, you
may want to force the camera to focus on distant objects rather than on the closest
object visible in the center of the frame—for example, when photographing a dis-
tant landscape through a screen of br anches or when taking a shot through a win-
dow. Or you may want the camera to focus on something closer than 30 cm—for
example, to create a close-up of a flower or business card. Your Nikon digital camera
offers focus modes for both situations. Some focus modes can be combined with a
timer to delay shutter release , either to keep the camer a from shaking or to allow
you to appear in your own pictures.

To select the focus mode, press the

button, which may be found below the

monitor on the back of the camera.
