When i touch up focus with the NIKKOR Z MC 105mm f/2.8 VR S on my Nikon Z8 a focus bar graph appears with a flower and infinity symbol. This with both the viewfinder and monitor when "Simple" is selected in Custom Settings d19 and d20. The only way i've found to get rid of it is touch AF-ON which defeats the manual focus touch up or turn off "Simple" in d19 and d20. It seems useful but when composing I'd like it gone. Am I missing something? Searching on the Web and the manual for the lens got me no hits.

I'd really like it to disappear with a half press of the shutter release. I guess my old technique of AF then touch up focus if necessary by moving the camera and lens together slightly will work. That AF then move the camera and lens is how i usually worked with the AF-S 70-180mm f/4.5-5.6 AF-D Micro-NIKKOR.
