To use autofocus to focus on the subject in the selected focus area, press the button to which focus lock or AF‑ON has been assigned (the size of the focus area can be chosen with the rear command dial). In manual focus mode, you can use this feature to quickly focus on a chosen subject using either single or continuous AF according to the option chosen for 
AF/MF SETTING > INSTANT AF SETTING.
A variety of options are available for checking focus in manual focus mode.

The white line indicates the distance to the subject in the focus area (in meters or feet according to the option selected for SCREEN SET-UP > FOCUS SCALE UNITS in the setup menu), the blue bar the depth of field, or in other words the distance in front of and behind the subject that appears to be in focus.
