AF lock shooting using
Center AF
Even if it is difficult to focus in AF shooting
because the subject is not in the center of the
frame, you can focus in this situation using
Center AF. For example, when you are
shooting two human subjects, and there is a
gap between them, the camera may focus on
the background visible in the gap. In a case
like this, use AF lock to ensure the subjects
are in correct focus.
•
When you are using AF lock, you can capture
an image with the correct focus even if the
subject is at the edge of the frame.
a
Compose the shot so that the
subject is centered in the AF
range finder, and press the
shutter button halfway down.
First, the focus for the subject you are
aiming at will be adjusted. When the
AE/AF lock indicator stops flashing
and remains on, and there is a beeping
sound, focus adjustment is completed.
b
Return to the fully composed
shot, and press the shutter
button fully down.
The shutter clicks, the image will be
recorded with the proper focus for the
human subjects.

down.
