Nikon Z9 Mirrorless Camera - Manual (Page 120)

120 Focus
• If a dog, cat, or bird is detected when
[
Animal ] is selected, the focus point will
appear over the face of the animal in
question (animal-detection AF). If the
camera detects the subject’s eyes, the focus
point will instead appear over one or the
other of their eyes. If the camera can detect
neither face nor eyes, it will display a focus point over the detected
animal.
• If a car, motorcycle, train, airplane, or bicycle
is detected when [
Vehicle ] is selected, the
focus point will appear over the vehicle in
question. In the case of trains, the camera
will detect only the front end. With planes,
the camera will detect the body, nose, or
cockpit depending on the aircraft’s size.
• If [ Auto ] is selected, the camera will detect humans, animals, and
vehicles and choose a subject for focus automatically.
• To disable AF subject detection altogether, choose [ Subject
detection off ].
• If more than one subject of the selected type is detected, a gray focus
point will appear over each of the subjects detected. If [
Auto-area AF ]
is selected for [ AF-area mode ], e and f icons will appear on the
focus point selected by the camera. The focus point can be positioned
over the other subjects by pressing
4 or 2 .
• During playback, you can zoom in on the subject used for focus by
pressing
