Using Focus Lock

“Focus lock” is a technique you can use when you want to compose an image in which the subject you want to focus on is not within the focus frame in the center of the screen.

•To use focus lock, select “U Spot” or “O Tracking” for the Auto Focus area (page 63).

1.Align the monitor screen’s focus frame with the subject you want to focus on and then half-press the shutter button.

2.Keeping the shutter button half-pressed (which maintains the focus setting), move the camera to compose the image.

•When “O Tracking” is selected as the Auto Focus area, the focus frame will move automatically and follow the subject.

3.When you are ready to shoot the image, press the shutter button the rest of the way down.

•Focus lock also locks exposure (AE).
