You can focus on the subject with auto
focus by selecting [MF] with the focus
switch and then press the [FOCUS] button.
This is convenient for prefocus.
∫ Prefocus
This is a technique for focusing in advance
on the point the pictures will be taken when
it is difficult to focus on the subject with
auto focus due to its quick motion. [e.g.
[PANNING] (P66) in scene mode]
This function is suitable when the distance
between the camera and the subject is
certain.
∫ Focus lock
You can fix the focus if you press
[FOCUS/AE LOCK] after focusing at the
position where you want to record the
subject. This is useful since the subject will
not go out of focus even if you rotate the
focus ring.

∫ Changing the zoom area
