Shooting with AF lock

When it is difficult to focus because the subject is not in the center of the frame, you can focus using the Focus range select function. For example, when shooting two human subjects with a gap between them, the camera may focus on the background visible through the gap. In these cases, use AF lock to ensure the subjects are in correct focus.

•AF lock lets you capture an image with the correct focus even if the subject is at the edge of the frame.
