If correct focus cannot be obtained
When the subject cannot be focused on, you can focus the camera on
another point at roughly the same distance (focus lock) and take the picture
as explained below.
Using the Focus Lock function
1
Position the AF target mark on
the subject you want to focus
on.
• When shooting a hard-to-focus subject
or a fast-moving subject, point the
camera at an object about the same
distance away as the subject.
2
Press the shutter button halfway
until the green lamp lights.
• When the focus and exposure are
locked, the green lamp lights.
• The AF target mark moves to the
focused position.
• When the green lamp blinks, the focus
and exposure are not locked. Release your finger from the shutter
button, re-position your subject and press the shutter button halfway
again.

Keeping the shutter button
pressed halfway, recompose
your shot.
