Locking Focus; Viewfinder Information - Rollei Prego 90 AF Instructions For Use Manual

Locking focus

You may wish to focus on a subject that is not in the
center of your picture and thus does not coincide with the
focus frame in the finder. Proceed as follows:
(Examples 1 – 3)
1. Aim the camera so that the focus frame coincides with
your off-center subject.
2. Lightly press the shutter release. The green LED will
light or blink slowly, and focus is locked. Be careful not
to press the release fully to avoid taking a picture at
this stage!
3. Keep the release depressed halfway, recompose your
picture and depress the release fully for exposure. If
you wish to focus at another distance, simply lift your
finger and start over again.
Some subjects are difficult to focus on:
1. Subjects brightly lit from behind.
2. Fireworks (use infinity lock) and smoke.
3. Shiny or glossy surfaces, such as a car detail or a
water body.
4. Subjects behind glass, e.g. a window (use infinity
lock).
In these cases, find an object at the same distance
and use focus lock (infinity lock for far-away subjects).
