The camera’s auto focus may not be able to focus on the subject in situations such as when the
subject is not in the center of the frame. If this happens, the easiest solution is to use focus
lock. Use this when composing the subject outside of the 11 AF targets or when the subject is
difficult to focus on.
1
Adjust the AF target with the subject to
be focused and press the shutter button
halfway until the AF confirmation mark
lights up.
• The focus is locked. The AF confirmation
mark and the AF target in focus light up in the
viewfinder.
• If the AF confirmation mark blinks, press the
shutter button halfway again.
• While the shutter button is being pressed, the
super control panel disappears.

While pressing the shutter button halfway,
move to the desired composition and press the
button all the way.

stored on the card.
