focused shot where the subject is not in the center of
the picture.
• Set the focus as described

Once your subject is in
focus, keep the shutter
button held down halfway
as you recompose the shot
with the subject to one side
of the viewfinder. Then
press the shutter button
down fully
Once you have set the focus, ensure that your
subject does not move relative to the camera. If
the distance to the subject changes, lock the
focus again. •
