The autofocus modes, and manual focus mode are

explained here.

USING AUTOFOCUS

When the autofocus function or the viewfinder’s focus indicator [ ] can-

not be used for focus confirmation for the following reasons, focus on the

subject in the manual focus mode with the aid of the matte field in the

viewfinder as you would with a non-AF SLR camera. ( p.79)

cus.) p.76

is in use.
