HP M415 manual Using Focus Lock

If there is not enough contrast or light in the focus region, try using Focus Lock (see the next section, Using Focus Lock), or simply turn on more light, if that is possible.

Using Focus Lock

Focus Lock allows you to focus on a subject that is not in the center of the picture, or to capture action shots more quickly by pre-focusing in the area where the action will occur. You can also use Focus Lock to help achieve focus in low light or low contrast situations.

1.Frame the subject for your picture within the focus brackets.

2.Press the Shutter button halfway down to lock the focus and exposure.

3.Continue to hold the Shutter button halfway down while you re-frame or adjust your subject for proper positioning.

4.Press the Shutter button all the way down to take the picture.
