If correct focus cannot be obtained
When the subject you want to focus on is not in the center of the frame and you
cannot position the AF target mark on it, you can focus the camera on another point
at roughly the same distance (focus lock) and take the picture as explained below.
Determine the position of the subject after focusing (Focus Lock)
1
Position the AF target mark on the

a fast-moving subject, point the camera at
an object about the same distance away
as the subject.
