Focus Lock
Focus lock should be used when you want to take a picture with your
subject outside the focus frame [ ] or in situations where autofocus is
difficult to confirm.
1. Center your subject in the focus frame [ ] and press the shutter
release button partway down.
The focus lock indicator will glow when the focus is locked.
2. Continue to hold the shutter release button partway down
while you recompose your picture as desired.
3. Press the shutter release button all the way down to take the
picture.
Focus lock cannot be used with moving subjects.
Alternate Focus Lock Methods:
• If using a manual zoom lens with a focus hold button, lock focus
by pressing the focus hold button.
• If using an AF Zoom xi or AF Power Zoom lens, lock focus by
pulling the lens control ring towards you.
