Shooting tips

Focusing on the subject

There are several ways to focus, depending on the subject.
When the subject is not in the center of the frame
• Place the subject in the center of the frame, lock the focus on the subject, and
then recompose your picture.

you want to shoot (by pressing the shutter button halfway), and then
recompose your picture and wait for the subject to enter the frame.

focus the camera using the focus lock function by pressing the shutter button
halfway, and then return the camera to the horizontal position while keeping
the button pressed halfway and take the picture.
