AF lock shooting using Center AF
Even if it is difficult to focus in AF shooting because the subject is not in the center of the frame, you can focus in this situation using Center AF. For example, when you are shooting two human subjects, and there is a gap between them, the camera may focus on the background visible in the gap. In a case like this, use AF lock to ensure the subjects are in correct focus.
