Shooting techniques

When shooting with the subject at the edge of the frame, or when using Center AF, the camera may focus on the center instead of on the subject at the edge of the frame. In a case like this, use AF lock to focus on the subject, and then recompose the picture and shoot.

Compose the shot so that the subject is centered in the AF range finder, and press the shutter button halfway down.

When the AE/AF lock indicator stops flashing and remains on, return to the fully composed shot, and press the shutter button fully down.

•When you are using AF lock, you can capture an image with the correct focus even if the subject is at the edge of the frame.

•You can carry out the AF lock adjustment process before you press the shutter button fully down.

Adjusting the exposure— EV adjustment

You can manually adjust the exposure determined by the camera. Use this mode when the proper exposure cannot be obtained, for example, when the contrast (difference between light and dark) between the subject and the background is extremely large.

The compensation value can be set in 1/3EV steps in the range from +2.0EV to −2.0EV.
