In the above composition, the subjects (two people in this case) are not in the AF frame. Pressing the shutter button halfway at this point will result in the subjects being out of focus.

AF/AE lock is useful:

Use AF/AE lock to guarantee best result when shooting a subject that is not suited to autofocusing (p.36). Use Intelligent Face Detection to focus on and adjust brightness of people’s faces (p.32).

CAUTION

When taking a picture in AF/AE lock, cancel

Intelligent Face Detection.
