! (face-priority AF): A double yellow border will be 
displayed when the camera detects a portrait 
subject facing the camera (if multiple faces, up to 
a maximum of 35, are detected, the camera will 
focus on the closest subject; to choose a different 
subject, press the multi selector up, down, left, or 
right).

$/% (wide- and normal-area AF): Use the multi 
selector to move the focus point anywhere in the 
frame, or press 

J to position the focus point in 

the center of the frame.

& (subject-tracking AF): Position the focus point 
over your subject and press

will track the selected subject as it moves through 
the frame.

Use an AF-S lens. The desired results may not be achieved with other lenses or 
teleconverters. Note that in live view, autofocus is slower and the monitor may 
brighten or darken while the camera focuses. The focus point may sometimes be 
displayed in green when the camera is unable to focus. The camera may be unable to 
focus in the following situations:
• The subject contains lines parallel to the long edge of the frame
• The subject lacks contrast
• The subject in the focus point contains areas of sharply contrasting brightness, or 

the subject is lit by spot lighting or by a neon sign or other light source that changes 
in brightness

• Flicker or banding appears under fluorescent, mercury-vapor, sodium-vapor, or 

similar lighting

• A cross (star) filter or other special filter is used
• The subject appears smaller than the focus point
• The subject is dominated by regular geometric patterns (e.g., blinds or a row of 

windows in a skyscraper)

• The subject is moving
