cannot focus on a subject, the focus icon will turn red. In this situation the focus-lock
function can be used to focus on another object at the same distance as your main
subject, and then the image can be recomposed to take the picture.

• The shutter can be released even if the camera cannot focus on the subject.
• When the AF system cannot focus, the focus is set to infinity. When the flash is in use, the
focus is set between 3.0 and 3.8m. In this case, focus lock can be used with an object at the
same distance as the main subject or the camera can be focused manually (p. 71).
