Go into the AF setting, select AF and press OK to confirm it. This is to make sure
pressing OK next time will bring up the AF menu.
Now suppose you need to focus on a point to your left, take the exposure from a scene to
your right, and then take a picture of the view straight in front of you.
First, focus on the point to your left and get the focus confirmation signal, then lift off the
shutter button and press OK. The AF setting menu will appear. Select MF (just go left
from AF), this will disable any further automatic focusing.
Now point the camera at the scene you want to take the exposure from, depress the
shutter half way and hold it. This will lock in temporarily the exposure you want.
Finally compose the shot and press the shutter fully.
Press OK again to select AF (just go right from MF) and re-enable normal focusing.
