To Release the AF Lock:

Press the 

MF

 button.

Shooting in Manual Focus Mode

The focus can be manually set.

2

Aim the camera so that an object at the same 

focal distance as the main subject is centered 

in the AF frame.

3

Press the shutter button halfway and press the 

MF button.

 and the MF indicator display allowing you to confirm the 

distance to the subject.

4

Re-aim the camera to compose the shot as 

desired and shoot.

z

The AF lock cannot be used in the 

 and 

 

modes. However, if you register the AF lock in [Set Shortcut 
button], you can use the AF lock in the 

 mode (p. 153).

z

 or 

 mode does not display the AF frame.

z

When shooting with the focus lock or AF lock using the LCD 
monitor, setting the [AF Frame] to [Center] (p. 116) makes 
shooting easier since the camera focuses using the center 
AF frame only.

z

The AF lock is convenient because you can let go of the 
shutter button to compose the image. Moreover, the AF lock 
is still effective after the picture is taken, allowing you to 
capture a second image with the same focus.

1

Turn on the LCD monitor.
