D Full Auto Techniques
Recornposing the Shot
Depending on the scene, position the subject toward the left or dght to
create a balanced background and good perspective.
In the <C3> (Furl Auto) mode, while you press the shutter button
halfway to focus a stiff subject, the focus wifl be locked. You can then
recompose the shot and press the shutter button completely to take the
picture. This is called "focus lock". Focus lock is also possible in other
Basic Zone modes (except <_&,> Sports).
Shooting a Moving Subject
In the <E::_> (Full Auto) mode, if the subject moves (distance to camera
changes) dudng or after you focus, AI Servo AF will take effect to focus
the subject continuously. As long as you keep aiming the AF point on
the subject wMle pressing the shutter button halfway, the focusing will
be continuous. When you want to take the picture, press the shutter
button completely.
