Sony DSC-P73, DSC-P93A Setting the distance to the subject

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 frame, 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.

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

Setting the distance to the subject

– Focus preset

When shooting an image using a previously set distance to the subject, or when shooting a subject through a net or through window glass, it is difficult to get the proper focus in auto focus mode. In these cases, use of the Focus preset is convenient.
