What Nikon camera is this, I forgot which one I was playing with.

When it was on picture or automode, not sure which one.

I can move the arrows on the camera to where i want the picture to be main focused at.

I can chose if i want the top right or left or bottom right, where it would be focused at.

Sorry can't explain very well, I think it was the d5000, but I am not sure.



Does anyone know?

I was playing also with the XSI but it didnt have that feature and I really like the feature.

Pretty much any nikon dslr can move the focus point, what differs though is how many focus points you can choose between!

Nikon d3000, d5000 and d90 has 11
nikon d300, d300s and all the pro cameras has 51

Yes the Canon xsi has that feature :)
I have that camera and use that feature so often!!!

Taken from a previous topic where I was looking for the feature:

I have the older model of your camera, the xti.

There is a way to only have one single focus point. On your camera you'll see a button that looks like a snowflake, or it might have two magnifying glasses by it as well. On my camera it's on the right side where I hold it, and I use my thumbs to press the buttons. There are two buttons there. To change my focus point thing, I Press the button on the end of the camera (the one that has the magnifying glass with a plus sign). And then I click the OK button to get just one point, and then you can use the arrows to move around and select one you want. Once done, press the magnifying glass button again. I hope this helps, I'm not sure if our cameras have the same setup anymore :)

Lol this.
Every single camera has an AF selection feature, well, dslr wise at least.

Why don't you google nikon cameras to find their features. They have descriptions of each feature. That way, you won't get frustrated by the lack of responses here.

XSI has that feature.. It is called AF points.

The XSI is a discontinued camera now at Best Buy... You can probably get a really good deal on it if you ask a manager. Most associates won't know its discontinued but the managers can check...

I paid $300.00 for mine.
