Focus will remain locked between shots as long as the shutter-release button is kept pressed halfway, allowing several photographs in succession to be taken at the same focus setting. Focus will also remain locked between shots while the AE-L/AF-Lbutton is pressed.

Do not change the distance between the camera and the subject while focus lock is in effect. If the subject moves, focus again at the new distance.
