FOCUS LOCK

Focus lock prevents the AF system from focusing. This can be used with off-center subjects or when a special focusing situation prevents the camera from focusing (p. 25).

Place the subject within the focus frame. Press and hold the shutter-release button partway down.

• The focus signal indicates the focus is locked. The shutter speed and aperture value change from white to black indicating the exposure is locked.

•When the focus is set, an AF sensor is displayed on the live image to indicate the point of focus.

Without lifting your finger from the shutter-release button, recompose the subject within the image area. Press the shutter-release button all the way down to take the picture.
