Setting The Distance To The Subject; Focus Preset - Sony CD Mavica MVC-CD500 Operating Instructions Manual

Shooting techniques
When shooting with the subject at the edge of
the frame, 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 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.
