Snapshot Tutorial
Using Focus Lock
“Focus lock” is a technique you can use when you want to
compose an image in which the subject you want to focus
on is not within the focus frame in the center of the
screen.
• To use focus lock, select “Û Spot” for the Auto Focus
area (page 41).
1. Align the monitor screen’s focus frame with
the subject you want to focus on and then half-
press the shutter button.
2. Keeping the shutter button half-pressed (which
maintains the focus setting), move the camera
to compose the image.
3. When you are ready to shoot the image, press
the shutter button the rest of the way down.
NOTE
• Focus lock also locks exposure (AE).
Specifying the Auto Focus Area (AF Area)
Intelligent
The camera automatically determines the focus point on the
screen and focuses there (intelligent AF).
• Face detection (page 45) operates automatically.
Spot
This mode takes readings of a small area in the center of the
image. This setting works well with focus lock (page 41).
Multi
When you half-press the shutter button while this setting selected,
the camera will select the optimum Auto Focus area from among
nine possible areas. The focus frame of the area where the
camera focuses will be displayed in green.
Tracking
Half-pressing the shutter button focuses on the subject and causes
the focus frame to track the movement of the subject.
