Tutorial—Basic Photography

Step 4—Focus

In single-servo AF, the camera focuses on the sub-

ject in the selected focus area when the shutter-

release button is pressed halfway. After centering

the focus brackets on your subject, press the shut-

ter-release button halfway and check focus in the

viewfinder. If the subject is dark, the AF-assist il-

luminator will light automatically to assist with the autofocus operation.

The Function Dial

Pictures can only be taken when the function dial is set to P, S, A, or M. At other

settings, the shutter release will be disabled.

Viewfinder Frame Coverage

Approximately 95% of the image exposed on the CCD is visible through the viewfinder.

The view through the viewfinder shows slightly less than appears in the final photo-

graph.
