Using AF/AE Lock to Take Photos
When taking a photo, pressing and holding the Shutter button
halfway to lock the focus is called “AF lock,” and pressing and
holding the Shutter button to lock the brightness is called “AE
lock.” This is useful when you want to take a photo where the
subject is not in the center of the screen.
1
Press the Shutter button halfway to bring the
subject into focus�
Press the Shutter button halfway to lock AF or AE.
2
Press and hold the Shutter button halfway to change
the composition�
3
Press the Shutter button fully to take the photo�
It is recommended that you use AE/AF lock when taking photos
of the following objects, as they may be difficult to focus on.
•
Shiny objects, such as mirrors and car bodies
•
Subjects that are moving at high speed
•
Subjects on the other side of glass
•
Dark objects, such as hair or fur, that absorb light rather than
reflect it
•
Insubstantial objects such as smoke or flames
•
Subjects with little difference between light and dark (for
example, a person wearing clothes the same color as the
background)
•
When there is a large contrast difference in the AF frame and
the subject is in that area (for example, a subject in front of a
high-contrast background)
