Using Focus Lock
Focus Lock allows you to focus on a subject that is not in the
center of the picture, or to capture action shots more quickly by
pre-focusing in the area where the action will occur. You can
also use Focus Lock to help achieve focus in low light or low
contrast situations.
1 Frame the subject for your picture within the focus brackets.
2 Press the Shutter button halfway down to lock the focus and
exposure.
3 Continue to hold the Shutter button halfway down while you
re-frame or adjust your subject for proper positioning.
4 Press the Shutter button all the way down to take the picture.
Using the Focus Range Settings
The Macro button lets you toggle between three focus
settings on the camera. The following table describes each of
the focus range settings on the camera:
Setting Description
Normal Focus
Use when taking pictures of subjects greater than
0.4 m (16 in) away. Auto focus is limited to a
range of 0.4 m (16 in) to infinity. This is the default
focus setting.
Macro
Use when taking close-up pictures of subjects less
than 0.4 m (16 in) away. In this setting, the camera
will not take a picture if it cannot find focus (the AF
viewfinder light blinks green and the focus brackets
turn red in the Live View screen). Auto focus has a
distance range of 0.18 m to 0.5 m (7 to 20 in).
