The Viewfi nder Display
Advanced Focusing Screen Display
When the background is bright, the active focus area (
66) is highlighted in black.
When the background is dark, the active focus area is highlighted briefl y in red as
needed to establish contrast with the background (“Vari-Brite” focus areas), making
it easier to identify the selected focus area. The viewfi nder is also equipped with on-
demand grid lines. When On is selected for Custom Setting 8 (Grid display;
144),
a reference grid is superimposed over the display in the viewfi nder. This grid is a useful
aid when composing landscape shots or when tilting or shifting a PC Nikkor lens.
Owing to the characteristics of this type of viewfi nder display, you may notice fi ne lines
radiating outwards from the selected focus area, or that the display in the viewfi nder
turns red when the selected focus area is highlighted. These phenomena are normal
and do not indicate a malfunction.
