Focus Lock Shooting

Usually, the auto focus function focuses the camera on the subject that appears in the autofocus field on the LCD monitor or in the viewfinder. If the subject is located outside the autofocus field, it may appear blurred in the resultant shot. Use the focus lock to ensure accurate focusing on the subject.

See • “Checking the Position of the Subject” (p.45).

■When to Use the Focus Lock

If the subject is not positioned inside the autofocus field, a blurred image will result as the background, not the subject, is in focus.

If an object other than the subject occupies a major portion of the autofocus field, the camera will focus on the object, producing a blurred image of the people.
