Focus Lock Shooting
Usually, the auto focus function focuses the camera on the subject that appears
in the autofocus field on the LCD monitor or in the viewfinder. If the subject is
located outside the autofocus field, it may appear blurred in the resultant shot.
Use the focus lock to ensure accurate focusing on the subject.
See • “Checking the Position of the Subject” (p.45).
■
When to Use the Focus Lock
If the subject is not positioned inside the
autofocus field, a blurred image will result as
the background, not the subject, is in focus.
If an object other than the subject occupies a
major portion of the autofocus field, the
camera will focus on the object, producing a
blurred image of the people.
■
How to Use the Focus Lock

Use the zoom lever to set the size of
your subject.
See

(Zoom)” (p.44).
w
Bring the subject on which you wish
to focus into the autofocus field.

Press the shutter release button
lightly and hold it.
The focus will be locked at this point and the
AF LED (green) will light.
