Auto Focus Properties | |
The Coolpix A900’s auto focus processor uses 1 AF points (or sensors). A basic rule of thumb says that the more AF points you have, the better. More AF points mean a better chance to have a point at the location of interest in a scene, a big plus in challenging situations (e.g. in low light). The Nikon doesn’t support manual focussing. That can be an issue if the auto focus has problems with your subject or lighting. |
