To Release the AF Lock:
Press the MF button.
When [Se[vo AF] (P. 124)is set to IOn], AF !ock cannot be
used.
® The AF frame does not appear in the F[_ mode, so be sure
to point the camera at the subject on which you want to
focus.
® When shooting with focus lock or AF lock using the LCD
monitor, you can simplify shooting by setting [AF Frame] to
[FlexiZone] or [Center] (p. 118) so that only one AF frame is
active.
® The AF lock is convenient because you can let go of the
shutter button to compose the image. Moreover, the AF lock
is still effective after the picture is taken, allowing you to
capture a second image with the same focus.
® When you shoot a subject through glass, try to shoot as
close to the glass as possible to reduce the chances of light
reflecting back off the glass.
