Using Focus Lock
When taking a picture, your camera automatically focuses on the object in the center of the viewfinder. If you want the camera to focus on a subject that is not in the center of the picture, you can use the camera’s focus lock feature to set the focus.
To take a picture using focus lock:
1Set the Mode switch to Capture.
2Turn the camera on.
3Position the subject on which you want the camera to focus in the center of the viewfinder.
4Press the Shutter button halfway down and hold it. You will hear a clicking sound as the lens adjusts to the distance.
5While continuing to press the Shutter button halfway down (thereby focusing on the object of interest), frame your picture, and then press the Shutter button down fully to take a picture.
