❚❚ The Electronic Rangefinder
The viewfinder focus indicator can be
used to confirm whether the subject in
the selected focus point is in focus.
Choose from 55 focus points, or from 45
points if 1.3Ч (18Ч12) is selected for
Choose image area (
0 89). After
positioning the subject in the selected
focus point, press the shutter-release button halfway and rotate
the lens focus ring until the in-focus indicator (

Note that with the subjects listed on page 113, the in-focus
indicator may sometimes be displayed when the subject is not in
focus; confirm focus in the viewfinder before shooting. For
information on using the electronic rangefinder with optional
AF-S/AF-I teleconverters, see page 99.
