When framing a picture where the subject is not in the center,
put the subject in the center of the monitor and lock the focus
and exposure by pressing the shutter button halfway. Then,
without letting go of the shutter button, frame the desired picture
and press the shutter button fully. AE lock is also useful when
you only want to lock the exposure.

Try using focus lock. Move the camera slightly away from the subject

es, move the camera back to the original position while continuing to
hold the button down halfway. Once the original subject is in the
viewfinder/monitor, press the shutter button fully to take the picture.

How do I use the A/S/M modes?

A—Aperture priority

This lets you set the aperture manually. For example, if you want
to focus on both your subject and the background, make the
aperture smaller. If you want to focus on only your subject, make
the aperture larger.

S—Shutter speed priority

This lets you set the shutter speed manually. For example, set-
ting a fast shutter speed lets you capture a moving subject with-
out blur. Setting a slow shutter speed lets you create a sense of
movement (flowing water, sports scenes, etc.)

M—Manual exposure mode

This lets you set both the aperture and shutter speed.
