Focus Lock Photography

If you are using AF (auto focus) to focus the camera, use the focus lock feature when you are composing a picture in which your main subject (the object or person you are focusing on) is not inside the focusing frame. This technique can also be used to focus on subjects that are not suitable for auto focusing.

1

Position the focusing frame over the object or person

on which you want to focus and press the shutter

button halfway.

• When the camera is focused, the focus indicator “●” lights and the focus stays locked as long as the shutter button is held halfway.

• If the selected exposure mode is Sport mode (5-vari program), focus lock photography cannot be used.

 

• If you want to use focus lock when a moving subject stops moving (when

 

the focusing mode changes from continuous AF to single AF servo),

 

release the shutter button and then press the shutter button halfway

 

again.

2

When the focus indicator “” lights, keep the shutter

button held halfway as you compose the picture and

then take the picture.

3

Once the focus indicator “●” lights, do not change the distance between the camera and the main subject. If you keep your finger on the shutter button and keep the button held down after the shutter has released, you can take any number of shots with the focus fixed at the same setting.
