Setting The Distance To The Subject; Focus Preset - Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T1 Operating Instructions Manual

Shooting techniques
When shooting with the subject at the edge of
the frame, or when using Center AF or Spot
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 (except in Continuous AF mode).
Compose the shot so that the subject is
centered in the AF range finder, 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.
Setting the distance
to the subject

— Focus preset

Mode switch: /
When shooting an image using a previously
set distance to the subject, or when shooting
a subject through a net or through window
glass, it is difficult to get the proper focus in
auto focus mode. In these cases, use of the
Focus preset is convenient.
Before operation
When shooting still images, set
(Camera) in the menu to other than [Auto]
or (Magnifying glass mode) (pages 43
and 102).
