Shooting with AF lock

When it is difficult to focus because the
subject is not in the center of the frame, you
can focus using the Focus range select
function. For example, when shooting two
human subjects with a gap between them,
the camera may focus on the background
visible through the gap. In these cases, use
AF lock to ensure the subjects are in correct
focus.
• AF lock lets you capture an image with the
correct focus even if the subject is at the edge of
the frame.
a Set the mode dial to
M, SCN or (Clip Motion/
Multi Burst).
b Set FOCUS switch to AUTO/
ZOOM.
c Compose the shot so that the
subject is centered in the AF
range finder frame, then press
and hold the shutter button
halfway down.
The camera focuses on the subject.
When the AE/AF lock indicator
changes from flashing to lighted up
and there is a beeping sound, the focus
adjustment is completed.
