The camera’s auto focus may not be able to focus on the subject in situations such as when the
subject is not in the center of the frame. If this happens, the easiest solution is to use focus
lock. Use this when composing the subject outside of the AF targets or when the subject is
difficult to focus on.
1
Adjust the AF target with the subject to be
focused and press the shutter button
halfway until the AF confirmation mark
lights up.
• The focus is locked. The AF confirmation mark
and the AF target in focus light up in the
viewfinder.
• If the AF confirmation mark blinks, press the
shutter button halfway again.
• While the shutter button is being pressed, the
super control panel disappears.
2
While pressing the shutter button halfway,
move to the desired composition and press
the button all the way.
• The card access lamp blinks while the picture is
being stored on the card.
If the subject has lower contrast than its surroundings
If the contrast of the subject is weak, such as when the lighting is insufficient or the subject
cannot be seen clearly because of fog, the focus may not be achieved. Focus (focus lock) on a
high-contrast object the same distance away as the intended subject, recompose your shot and
then take the picture.
