When shooting with the focus lock or AF lock, setting [AiAF]
to [Off]
(p. 46) makes shooting easier since the camera
focuses using the center AF frame only.
The AF lock is convenient because you can let go of the
shutter button to compose the image. Moreover, the AF
lock is still effective after the picture is taken, allowing you
to capture a second image with the same focus.
You can set the exposure and focus separately. This is effective
when the contrast is too strong between the subject and
background or when a subject is backlit.

AE lock can also be set and released in mode (p. 42) .
