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.

1
Open the lens barrier fully.
• The lens extends and the monitor turns on.

point the camera at an object about the
same distance away as the subject.

green lamp lights.
• The focus, exposure, and white balance are
locked.
