Using Focus Lock
Focus lock is a technique you can use to focus on a subject
that is not located within the focus frame when you record an
image. You can use focus lock in the Auto Focus Mode and
the Macro Mode ( ).
1.
Using the monitor
screen, compose the
image so the main
subject is within the
focus frame, and then
press the shutter
release button half
way.
• The focus and image
recording operations
are identical to those in
the Auto Focus Mode.
• You can tell whether the image is focused by observ-
ing the focus frame and the green operation lamp. The
indications of the focus frame and green operation
lamp are the same as those in the Auto Focus Mode.
