Focus Lock - If Correct Focus Cannot Be Obtained - Olympus E-3 Instruction Manual

Focus lock – If correct focus cannot be obtained
The camera's auto focus may not be able to focus on the subject in situations such as when the
subject is not in the center of the frame. If this happens, the easiest solution is to use focus
lock. Use this when composing the subject outside of the 11 AF targets or when the subject is
difficult to focus on.
