When the Subject is not Centered on Your Composition (Focus Lock)
When the subject of your composition is not centered, you can compose your picture after setting the
focus and then shoot. This method is called "Focus-Lock."
Buttons used here
Turn the Mode Dial to 5 (Shooting Mode).
Put the subject of your photo right in the
center of the LCD Monitor or the Viewfinder
and press the shutter button half-way.
The f-stop (aperture size) and shutter speed are
displayed in the bottom part of the screen, and the
camera focuses.
Once the shot is in focus, the exposure and white
balance are fixed and the crosshair in the center of
the LCD Monitor turns green, as does the auto-focus
lamp in the lower left of the Viewfinder. Check one of
these to make sure the subject is in focus.
