BASIC RECORDING
24
Focus lock prevents the AF system from focusing. This can be used with off-center
subjects or when a special focusing situation prevents the camera from focusing (p. 25).
Without lifting your finger from the shutter-release
button, recompose the subject within the image area.
Press the shutter-release button all the way down to take
the picture.
FOCUS LOCK
Place the subject within the focus frame. Press and hold
the shutter-release button partway down.
• The focus signal indicates the focus is locked. The shutter
speed and aperture value change from white to black
indicating the exposure is locked.
• When the focus is set, an AF sensor is displayed on the live
image to indicate the point of focus.
