AF lock only
The Lock function is convenient for achieving perfect exposure and focusing based on the
most important part of a subject.
For example, if you wish to position it anywhere in the frame, and also in the case of large
brightness differences.
If an important subject detail is to be positioned off-center: Lock exposure (AE) and focus
(AF)
If the main subject is comparatively small and the rest of the frame is significantly brighter
or darker: Lock exposure (AE)
Preparation:
To utilize the AF/AE Lock function, it is necessary to register it to the [FN] button. (→117)

the shutter button fully
