FOCUS LOCK
The focus-lock function is used when the subject is off-center and outside the focus frame. Focus
lock may also be used when a special focusing situation prevents the camera from focusing on the
subject.
Place the subject within the focus frame. Press and hold the
shutter-release button partway down.
• The focus signals will indicate that the focus is locked. The
shutter speed and aperture value will change from white to
black indicating the exposure is locked.
• When the focus is set, an AF sensor will briefly appear on the
live image to indicate the point of focus.
Without lifting your finger from the shutter-release button,
recompose the subject within the image area. Press the shut-
ter-release button all the way down to take the picture.
