If the subject is difficult to focus on, lock the focus before shooting as
explained below. This is called focus lock.
How to lock the focus
1
Open the lens barrier fully.
2
Position the AF target mark on the
subject you want to focus on.
•
When shooting a hard-to-focus subject, point the
camera at an object about the same distance
away as the subject.
3
Press the shutter button halfway.
•
When the focus and exposure are locked, the
green lamp lights.
•
When the green lamp blinks, the focus is not
locked. Release your finger from the shutter
button, re-position your subject and press the
shutter button halfway again.
4
Keeping the shutter button pressed
halfway, recompose your shot.
5
Press the shutter button fully.
