Nikon D5300 Manuel D’Utilisation

57

Manual focus can be used when autofocus is not available or does not produce the 
desired results (

If the lens is equipped with an A-M, M/A-M, or A/M-M 
mode switch, slide the switch to M.

To focus manually, adjust the lens focus ring until the 
image displayed on the clear matte field in the viewfinder 
is in focus. Photographs can be taken at any time, even 
when the image is not in focus.

❚❚The Electronic Rangefinder

If the lens has a maximum aperture of f/5.6 or faster, the 
viewfinder focus indicator can be used to confirm whether the 
subject in the selected focus point is in focus (the focus point 
can be selected from any of the 39 focus points). 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 (

I) is displayed. Note that with the subjects listed on 

page 52, the in-focus indicator may sometimes be displayed when the subject is not 
in focus; confirm focus in the viewfinder before shooting.
