USING AF/AE LOCK
In this shot, the subjects (two people in this case)
are not in the AF frame. Taking the picture at this
point will result in the subjects being out of focus.
Move the camera slightly so that one of the
subjects is in the AF frame.
Press the shutter button down halfway (AF/AE
lock). When a short double-beep is heard, the
camera focuses on your subject. The AF frame on
the LCD monitor becomes smaller and the
viewfinder lamp (green) changes from blinking to lit.
Continue to hold the shutter button down halfway.
Move the camera back to the original image and
press the shutter button fully.
