“Capture Criteria” > “Distance”
To view the distance criteria display, highlight [Advanced: Distance] in the auto capture settings display and press J.
The [Advanced: Distance] feature can be used when a NIKKOR Z lens is attached. It may not function with other lenses.
A focus-point target will appear in the distance criteria display.
Focus-point target
In the distance criteria display, choose the maximum and minimum distances at which the camera will detect subjects for auto capture. Auto capture shooting will continue while the subject is within the specified range of distances.
Choose the closest distance at which the camera will detect subjects for auto capture. Place the target over a subject at the closest distance for auto capture subject detection and press the AF-ON button to set the minimum distance, which will appear in the display as [Near]. The minimum distance can be fine-tuned by rotating the main command dial.
Choose the farthest distance at which the camera will detect subjects for auto capture. Place the target over a subject at the farthest distance for auto capture subject detection and press the shutter-release button halfway to set the maximum distance, which will appear in the display as [Far]. The maximum distance can be fine-tuned by rotating the sub-command dial.
- Press i to save changes and return to the auto capture settings display.
Fine-Tuning the Distances for “Near” and “Far”
Fine-tuning is available exclusively with Nikon Z mount lenses, but not with the NIKKOR Z 58 mm f/0.95 S Noct.
Supported Distances for “Near” and “Far”
The range of distances that can be chosen for [Near] and [Far] vary with the lens. If you are unable to select the desired range, consider choosing a different lens or focal length or using capture criteria other than [Distance].
- Minimum distance for [Near]: 20 × lens focal length
- Maximum distance for [Far]:
- Lenses with focal lengths of 35 mm or less: 150 × lens focal length
- Lenses with focal lengths over 35 mm: 200 × lens focal length
The distances for [Near] and [Far] are displayed in meters only. They will not be displayed in feet even when [Feet (ft)] is selected for [Distance units] in the setup menu.
