2Check that the in-focus indicator (●) appears in the viewfinder.

Single-servo AF

Focus will lock automatically when the in-focus indicator appears, and remain locked until you remove your finger from the shutter-release button. Focus can also be locked by pressing the AE-L/AF-Lbutton (see below).

Continuous-servo AF

Press the AE-L/AF-Lbutton to lock both focus and exposure. Focus will remain locked while the AE- L/AF-Lbutton is pressed, even if you later remove your finger from the shutter-release button.

3Recompose the photograph and shoot.

In single-servo AF, focus will remain locked between shots as long as the shut- ter-release button is kept pressed halfway, allowing several photographs in suc- cession 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.
