Focusing On A Subject That Is Not In Center Of Frame (Focus Lock) - Olympus Stylus Verve Advanced Manual

Focusing on a subject that is not in center of frame (Focus lock)

When the subject you want to focus on is not exactly in the center of the
monitor and you cannot position the AF target mark on it, you can focus
on another point at roughly the same distance (focus lock) and take the
picture as explained below. This is called "focus lock."
In shooting mode, position the AF
target mark on the subject you want to
focus on.
