Taking Pictures (Cont’d)
Shooting with Focus Lock
- If the subject you wish to focus on is not in the center of the screen, use the
focus lock.
1. Align the auto focus mark on the sub-
ject, and push the shutter button half-
way. The green LED light will come on,
locking the focus position.
The exposure is fixed at the same time the
focus is locked.
If you release your finger from the half-
pushed shutter button, the focus lock will
be released and you can repeat the proce-
dure.
2. With the shutter button pressed half-
way, re-compose your photo and
press the shutter button all the way to
take the picture.
When re-composing the photo, do not
change the shooting distance. If the dis-
tance has changed, repeat the procedure.
The following subjects may be difficult to bring into focus:
Subjects with no contrast (variance in brightness, e.g., the sky, a
white wall, the hood of a car)
Subjects with only horizontal lines and no surface texture
Quickly moving subjects
Poorly lit subjects (in a dark place)
Subjects with a strong light or reflected light behind them
Subjects in a flickering light, such as a fluorescent light
