Chapter 1 Section 2 Basic Shooting

When the Subject is not Centered on Your Composition (Focus Lock)

When the subject of your composition is not centered, you can compose your picture after setting the focus and then shoot. This method is called "Focus-Lock."

Turn the Mode Dial to 5(Shooting Mode).

Put the subject of your photo right in the center of the LCD Monitor or the View- finder and press the shutter button half- way.

The f-stop (aperture size) and shutter speed are dis- played in the bottom part of the screen, and the cam- era focuses.

With the shutter half-pressed, compose your shot.

Gently press the shutter button all the way.

Once the shot is in focus, the exposure and white bal- ance are fixed and the crosshair in the center of the LCD Monitor turns green, as does the auto-focus lamp in the lower left of the Viewfinder. Check one of these to make sure the subject is in focus.
