In the above composition, the subjects (two people in this
case) are not in the AF frame. Pressing the shutter button
halfway at this point will result in the subjects being out of
focus.
AF/AE lock is useful:
Use AF/AE lock to guarantee best result when shooting a
subject that is not suited to autofocusing (➝p.36). Use
Intelligent Face Detection to focus on and adjust
brightness of people's faces (➝p.32).
CAUTION
When taking a picture in AF/AE lock, cancel
Intelligent Face Detection.
