Focusing on a moving subject
◆
If you press the shutter button down halfway to focus on the subject at the starting point A, the subject
may no longer be in focus when it reaches point B where you want to take the shot.
In such situations, focus on point B beforehand and then lock the focus so that it does not shift.
This feature is also useful for photographing fast-moving subjects that are difficult to focus on.
