Shooting techniques
When shooting with the subject at the edge of
the frame, or when using Center AF, the
camera may focus on the center instead of on
the subject at the edge of the frame. In a case
like this, use AF lock to focus on the subject,
and then recompose the picture and shoot.
Compose the shot so that the subject is
centered in the AF range finder frame, and
press the shutter button halfway down.
When the AE/AF lock indicator stops flashing
and remains on, return to the fully composed
shot, and press the shutter button fully down.
• When you are using AF lock, you can
capture an image with the correct focus even
if the subject is at the edge of the frame.
• You can carry out the AF lock adjustment
process before you press the shutter button
fully down.
