Focusing

Locking Focus

Use Focus Lock to capture a subject that is framed outside of the five focus

 

areas and in situations where autofocus may not work as expected

 

(see page 8-8). Focus lock works differently in Single Servo AF and

 

Continuous Servo AF modes.

 

 

 

1. Position the focus area on the subject and lightly press the Shutter

 

Release button.

 

 

 

2. Confirm that the focus indicator

appears in the viewfinder and

 

lock focus.

 

 

 

 

Single Servo AF:

 

 

 

• Focus is locked as long as you lightly press the Shutter Release

 

button.

 

 

 

 

• You can also lock focus by pressing the

button.

 

Continuous Servo AF:

 

 

 

• While continuing to lightly press the Shutter Release button, press

 

the

button.

 

 

Focus is locked as long as you press the button. (You can remove your finger from the Shutter Release button.)

3.While keeping the focus locked, recompose and capture the image.

Tips:

After you have locked focus, do not change the camera-to-subject distance.

If you keep the Shutter Release button lightly pressed or keep the

button pressed after releasing the shutter in Single Servo AF, the shutter can be released repeatedly with the same focusing.

If the camera-to-subject distance changes after focus is locked,

release the Shutter Release button or button to release the focus lock. Refocus and lock again.
