Focus Lock

Focus lock can be used to change the composition after focusing, making it pos- sible to focus on a subject that will not be in a focus area in the final composition. It can also be used when the autofocus system is unable to focus ( 59).

In single-servo AF, focus locks automatically when the in-focus indicator (●) ap- pears in the viewfinder. In continuous-servo AF, focus must be locked manually using the AE-L/AF-Lbutton. To recompose a photograph using focus lock:

1Position the subject in the selected focus area and press the shutter-release button halfway to

initiate focus.
