point and press the shutter-release button halfway to initiate focus.

Check that the in-focus indicator (A) appears in the viewfinder. Focus will lock automatically when the in- focus indicator appears, and remain locked while the shutter-release button is pressed halfway.

Focus point can be selected (A 59).

Focus will remain locked while His held down, even if you later remove your finger from the shutter-release button.

The shutter-release button cannot be used to lock focus in jmode (A 37), b(continuous) release mode (A 54), or continuous-servo autofocus (A 57), or when continuous-servo autofocus is selected in auto-servo AF (A 57). Use Hto lock focus.
