If correct focus cannot be obtained (Focus lock)

When the subject you want to focus on is not in the center of the frame and you cannot position the AF target mark on it, you can focus the camera on another point at roughly the same distance (focus lock) and take the picture as explained below.

1 Open the lens barrier.

The camera turns on in the shooting mode.

2 Look into the viewfinder and position the AF target mark on the subject.

When shooting a hard-to-focus subject or

afast-moving subject, point the camera at an object about the same distance away

as the subject.
