Shooting basics
If correct focus cannot be obtained (Focus lock)
When the subject you want to focus on is not in the center of the frame and
you cannot position the AF target mark on it, you can focus the camera on
another point at roughly the same distance (focus lock) and take the picture
as explained below.
1
Open the lens barrier.
The camera turns on in the shooting
mode.
2
Look into the viewfinder and
position the AF target mark on the
subject.
When shooting a hard-to-focus subject or
a fast-moving subject, point the camera at
an object about the same distance away
as the subject.
3
Half-press the shutter button until the green
lamp on the right of the viewfinder illuminates
steady.
The focus and exposure are locked when the green
lamp lights up.
4
Keeping the shutter button pressed
halfway, recompose your shot in the
viewfinder.
5
Press the shutter button fully.
