When the main subject is not in the center of the picture
Focus lock photography
When the subject to be focused is outside the autofocus frame in
the center of the picture, use focus lock, which enables you to
change the picture composition while locking the focus.
1.
Compose the picture.
If the shutter is released in a condition like that in the above example
where the main subject is outside the autofocus frame, the background
is in focus, and the main subject is out of focus. In such situations, use
focus lock to change the picture composition while temporarily locking
the focus on the main subject.
2.
Center the autofocus frame on the main
subject and lightly press the Shutter Release
button.
The green LED lights up when correct focus has been achieved, and the
focus is locked as long as the Shutter Release button is depressed
lightly.
Do not change the camera-to-subject distance
While the green LED lights up, the focus is locked. Do not change the
camera-to-subject distance.
