Shooting techniques
When shooting with the subject at the edge of
the frame, or when using Center AF or Spot AF,
the camera may focus on the center instead of
on the subject at the edge of the frame. In a case
like this, use AF lock to focus on the subject, and
then recompose the picture and shoot.
Compose the shot so that the subject is centered
in the AF range finder, and press the shutter
button halfway down.
When the AE/AF lock indicator stops flashing
and remains on, return to the fully composed
shot, and press the shutter button fully down.

• When you are using AF lock, you can
capture an image with the correct focus
even if the subject is at the edge of the
frame.
• You can carry out the AF lock adjustment
process before you press the shutter button
fully down.
Setting the distance
to the subject
— Focus preset
When shooting an image using a
previously set distance to the subject, or
when shooting a subject through a net or
through window glass, it is difficult to
get the proper focus in auto focus mode.
In these cases, use of the Focus preset is
convenient.
Before operation
When shooting still images, set
(Camera) in the menu to other than [Auto]
(pages 53 and 120).
